"Ishiyakushi" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is one of the prints from his famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts scenes along the Tōkaidō road, the major travel route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto during the Edo period. This series, created in the 1830s, is one of Hiroshige's most celebrated works and was instrumental in establishing his reputation as a master of the landscape ukiyo-e genre.

The "Ishiyakushi" print represents the forty-fourth station on the Tōkaidō road. The scene typically portrays travelers and local inhabitants amidst the landscape of Ishiyakushi, which was known for its temple dedicated to the healing Buddha, Yakushi Nyorai. Hiroshige's depiction of Ishiyakushi often features the temple set against a backdrop of mountains, with finely detailed figures and a sense of tranquility that reflects the spiritual significance of the location.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his innovative use of perspective, color, and composition, which brought a new level of artistry and poetic sensibility to the ukiyo-e genre. The "Ishiyakushi" print, like others in the series, showcases his ability to capture the essence of each locale with a blend of realism and romanticism, making the Tōkaidō series not only a valuable artistic collection but also an important historical record of Japan's cultural landscape during the Edo period.

The "Ishiyakushi" print, along with the rest of "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," remains a highly regarded piece of Japanese art and has been the subject of numerous studies and exhibitions. It is a testament to Hiroshige's enduring legacy and his impact on both Japanese art and the development of landscape art in the wider world.
