The "53 Stations of the Tōkaidō" (Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi) is a renowned series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Andō Hiroshige. This series, produced between 1833 and 1834 during the Edo period, consists of 55 prints in total, including one for each of the 53 post stations (shukuba) along the Tōkaidō road, as well as the starting point in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and the terminus in Kyoto.

The Tōkaidō road was the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo period, connecting the shogun's capital, Edo, with the imperial capital, Kyoto. It was a vital artery for travel and trade, frequented by samurai, merchants, and pilgrims. Hiroshige's series captures the diverse landscapes, daily life, and cultural practices observed along this route, offering a vivid portrayal of 19th-century Japan.

Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its masterful composition, use of color, and ability to convey atmosphere and emotion. Each print in the series depicts a specific location along the Tōkaidō, often highlighting the natural beauty of the Japanese countryside, seasonal changes, and the human activities associated with each station. The artist's keen observation and attention to detail provide a rich visual narrative that transports viewers to the historical and cultural milieu of the Edo period.

The "53 Stations of the Tōkaidō" series was immensely popular upon its release and remains one of Hiroshige's most acclaimed works. It significantly influenced both Japanese and Western art, inspiring artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet. The series exemplifies the ukiyo-e genre's ability to blend artistic expression with documentary precision, making it a cornerstone of Japanese art history and a valuable cultural artifact.
