Kakegawa-juku

Kakegawa-juku (掛川宿, Kakegawa-juku) was the twenty-sixth of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in what is now the city of Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

History

Kakegawa-juku was originally the castle town of Kakegawa Castle. It was famous because Yamauchi Kazutoyo rebuilt the area and lived there himself.

It also served as a post station along a salt road that ran through Shinano Province between the modern-day cities of Makinohara and Hamamatsu.

The classic ukiyo-e print by Andō Hiroshige (Hōeidō edition) from 1831–1834 depicts travelers crossing a trestle-bridge. An old couple is struggling against a strong wind, followed by a boy making a mocking gesture; another boy is watching a kite up in the air. In the background, peasants are planting rice and in the distance, Mount Akiba is shown in the mists.

gollark: I believe this is O(n!), actually.
gollark: The performance is great too. It's not O(n²), it's an even more biggerer and thus superior order.
gollark: Of course.
gollark: I'm not entirely sure how, but it seems to construct a tree/maybe deterministic finite automaton/finite state machine/I don't know theoretical CS which matches anagrams and unmatches unanagrams.

This is definitely my entry.
