Goyu, also known as Goyu-shuku, is a woodblock print by the renowned 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," which depicts the various post stations along the Tōkaidō road, the main travel route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto during the Edo period. Created in the early 1830s, this series is one of Hiroshige's most famous works and is highly regarded for its artistic and historical significance.

Goyu-shuku, the 35th station in the series, is depicted with a unique blend of humor and everyday life, showcasing Hiroshige's keen observation and ability to capture the essence of the time. The print illustrates a bustling scene in the post town of Goyu, known for its inns and teahouses catering to travelers. In this particular work, Hiroshige portrays a lively street scene where travelers are being playfully accosted by female innkeepers, a common practice in Goyu to attract customers to their establishments. The dynamic interaction between the travelers and the innkeepers adds a touch of liveliness and character to the print.

Hiroshige's use of vibrant colors, intricate details, and masterful composition in Goyu exemplifies his skill in the ukiyo-e tradition. The print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into the social customs and daily life of the Edo period. Through his work, Hiroshige captures the spirit of the Tōkaidō road and the various experiences of those who traveled it, making Goyu a significant piece in the broader context of Japanese art and cultural history.
