Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido: Sayo-no-Nakayama Mountain near Nissaka 東海道五拾三次之内　日坂佐夜ノ中山とうかいどうごじゅうさんつぎのうち　にっさか　さよのなかやま

Description

現在の静岡県掛川市にあたる。西行法師が新古今集で「年たけてまた越ゆべしと思ひきや命なりけり佐夜の中山」と詠ったことで知られる。その急勾配の坂は東海道の難所の一つであった。坂下の石は、金谷宿の夫を訪ねる途中に山賊に殺された妊婦の霊が乗り移ったとされ、夜中に泣き声が聞こえてくるとの謂れから「夜泣石」と呼ばれた。後に妊婦の赤子は村人に助けられ、飴で育てられたといい、以来「子育て飴」はこの地の名物になった。
