"Futakawa" is one of the woodblock prints from the renowned series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" by Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the Edo period, this series depicts the fifty-three post stations, plus the starting and ending points, of the Tōkaidō road, the important coastal route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto. Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its masterful composition, delicate use of color, and the ability to capture the essence of each location along the journey.

The "Futakawa" print specifically represents the thirty-second station of the Tōkaidō. It portrays the landscape and daily life of the Futakawa post town, capturing the unique characteristics of the area. Hiroshige's depiction often includes travelers, local inhabitants, and notable features of the environment, reflecting both the beauty and the transient nature of the journey along the Tōkaidō road.

Hiroshige's series was first published in the early 1830s and quickly gained popularity for its artistic quality and the romantic portrayal of travel in Japan. The prints were made using the ukiyo-e technique, a traditional Japanese woodblock printing method that allowed for the mass production of colorful images. "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and remains a significant contribution to the ukiyo-e genre and Japanese art as a whole.

The "Futakawa" print, like others in the series, has been widely studied and collected, contributing to Hiroshige's lasting legacy and the global appreciation of Japanese woodblock prints. It is an exemplary piece of the ukiyo-e tradition and a valuable window into the cultural and historical context of travel in 19th-century Japan.
