"Mariko no.21" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is the twenty-first print in Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts scenes along the Tōkaidō road, the major travel and trade route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto during the Edo period. Created in the 1830s, this series is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and a masterpiece of the ukiyo-e genre.

The print "Mariko no.21" specifically portrays the station of Mariko, which was the twentieth of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. Mariko was known for its famous "tororojiru," a yam soup that was a specialty of the area. In this print, Hiroshige captures the essence of the station with a focus on the local cuisine, depicting travelers resting and enjoying the popular dish at a teahouse, a common rest stop for those journeying along the Tōkaidō.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of color and composition, as well as his ability to evoke the atmosphere of each location. "Mariko no.21" is no exception, with its attention to the details of everyday life and the natural environment. The print is a valuable historical record of the culture and landscape of Japan during the Edo period, as well as an important work of art that has influenced many artists both in Japan and around the world.

The "Mariko no.21" print, along with the rest of "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" series, has been widely reproduced and remains popular among collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese art. It is held in various museum collections and has been the subject of numerous exhibitions and scholarly studies, contributing to Hiroshige's lasting legacy as one of the great masters of ukiyo-e.
