"Futagawa Sarugababa" (Monkey Plain, Futagawa) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This work is part of Hiroshige's celebrated series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts the various post stations along the Tōkaidō road, the main travel and transport artery of Edo-period Japan, connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto.

Hiroshige's "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" series, created in the early 1830s, is acclaimed for its evocative portrayal of landscapes, daily life, and the natural beauty encountered along the route. "Futagawa Sarugababa" specifically represents the 34th station, Futagawa, located in what is now Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. The print captures the essence of the journey through its meticulous composition and attention to detail, characteristic of Hiroshige's style.

In "Futagawa Sarugababa," Hiroshige employs a harmonious blend of color and perspective to depict travelers navigating a serene yet dynamic landscape. The scene often features a winding path with travelers and packhorses, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush vegetation. The title "Sarugababa" translates to "Monkey Plain," which may reference local folklore or the area's natural environment, adding a layer of cultural context to the artwork.

Hiroshige's work is noted for its ability to convey the transient beauty of nature and the human experience within it. His prints were not only artistic achievements but also served as a form of visual documentation of the Edo period's geography and society. "Futagawa Sarugababa" exemplifies Hiroshige's skill in capturing the poetic essence of a specific locale, making it a significant piece within the broader context of Japanese art and cultural history.
