"Goyu Waitresses Soliciting Travellers" is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This print is part of Hiroshige's celebrated series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" (Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi no uchi), which was first published in the early 1830s. The series depicts the various post stations along the Tōkaidō, the main route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto during the Edo period. Each station is represented through a unique scene that captures the essence of the locale and the experiences of travelers.

The "Goyu Waitresses Soliciting Travellers" print specifically illustrates the Goyu station, which was known for its inns and teahouses. In this artwork, Hiroshige portrays a lively and somewhat humorous scene where waitresses from the local inns are seen actively soliciting travelers to stay at their establishments. The women are depicted in dynamic poses, engaging with the travelers in a manner that highlights the bustling and competitive nature of the hospitality industry at the time. The travelers, on the other hand, appear somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiastic solicitations.

Hiroshige's masterful use of color, composition, and perspective in this print not only brings the scene to life but also provides a glimpse into the social customs and daily life of the Edo period. The artist's attention to detail and ability to capture the human element within the landscape is a hallmark of his work, making this print a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of Japanese culture.

The "Goyu Waitresses Soliciting Travellers" print, like many others in the series, reflects Hiroshige's keen observation and his ability to convey the vibrancy of the Tōkaidō road. It remains an important work within the ukiyo-e genre and continues to be celebrated for its artistic and historical significance.
