"Kyōka Tōkaidō" is a series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige, in the mid-19th century. This series is a variation of Hiroshige's more famous "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" and features scenes from the Tōkaidō road, which connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the ancient imperial capital of Japan. What distinguishes "Kyōka Tōkaidō" from Hiroshige's original Tōkaidō series is the inclusion of kyōka, humorous or whimsical poems, accompanying each print. These poems add a literary dimension to the visual artwork, providing a playful and often satirical commentary on the scenes depicted.

The Tōkaidō road was the most traveled route in Japan during the Edo period, and Hiroshige's prints capture the diverse landscapes, seasonal changes, and the bustling activity of travelers and locals. "Kyōka Tōkaidō" consists of 55 prints, each representing one of the 53 stations along the Tōkaidō, plus the starting point at Nihonbashi in Edo and the endpoint in Kyoto. Hiroshige's artistic portrayal of the Japanese countryside, urban life, and natural beauty, combined with the poetic verses, offers a unique and culturally rich perspective of 19th-century Japan. This series not only exemplifies Hiroshige's mastery of landscape art but also highlights the interplay between text and image in Japanese woodblock print culture.
