border of Yamato and Omi, separated the thirty-three western from
the thirty-three eastern provinces. The former were collectively
entitled Kuwansei (pronounce Kanse), _i.e._, westward of the Gate; the
latter Kuwanto (pronounce Kanto), _i.e._, eastward of the Gate. Later,

in which Yedo, the new capital of Shogune, grew up were carefully
guarded; by the Gate (Kuwan) was understood the great guard on the
Hakone Pass, and Kuwanto or Kuwanto-Hashiu, the eight provinces east of
it: Sagami, Musashi, Kotsuke, Shimotsuke, Hitachi, Shimosa, Katsusa,
and Awa.
