"Les 53 Stations du Tōkaidō, Ishiyakushi, Ishiyakushi-ji" is a celebrated woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" (Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi), which was first published between 1833 and 1834. The series depicts the various stations along the Tōkaidō road, the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo period in Japan, which connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto.

The "Ishiyakushi" station, also known as "Ishiyakushi-ji," is the 45th station in the series. This particular print captures the serene and spiritual atmosphere of the Ishiyakushi Temple, a Buddhist temple located in present-day Suzuka, Mie Prefecture. The temple is historically significant and is believed to have been founded in the Nara period (710-794). It is named after a legend involving a miraculous healing stone (ishi) that was said to have been blessed by the temple's deity, Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of healing.

Hiroshige's depiction of Ishiyakushi is characterized by his masterful use of perspective, composition, and color to convey the tranquil beauty of the temple and its surroundings. The print typically features travelers and pilgrims making their way to the temple, set against a backdrop of lush greenery and traditional architecture. The attention to detail and the harmonious blend of natural and human elements are hallmarks of Hiroshige's style, which has earned him a lasting legacy in the world of Japanese art.

"The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" series, including the "Ishiyakushi" print, played a significant role in popularizing the Tōkaidō road and its scenic landscapes. Hiroshige's work not only provides a visual record of the Edo period's travel culture but also reflects the aesthetic values and artistic innovations of the time. Today, these prints are highly regarded by art historians and collectors, and they continue to be celebrated for their beauty and historical significance.
