"Nihonbashi: Un Des Cinquante-Trois Relais De La Route Du Tokaido Dessin Preparatoire" is a preparatory drawing for a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This work is part of Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts scenes along the Tōkaidō road, the main route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto during the Edo period.

The Nihonbashi print portrays the bustling atmosphere of the Nihonbashi bridge in Edo, which was the starting point of the Tōkaidō road. As a preparatory sketch, this piece would have been used by Hiroshige to finalize the composition and details before carving the design into woodblocks for printing. The bridge, a significant commercial and cultural landmark, is often depicted with fishmongers and travelers, symbolizing the vibrancy and economic importance of the area.

Hiroshige's series gained immense popularity for its masterful composition, delicate use of color, and the ability to capture the essence of each location along the Tōkaidō. His works have had a profound influence on both Japanese art and Western artists, particularly the Impressionists. "Nihonbashi: Un Des Cinquante-Trois Relais De La Route Du Tokaido Dessin Preparatoire" is a testament to Hiroshige's skill in landscape art and his impact on the genre of travel prints in ukiyo-e. The series, including the Nihonbashi print, is celebrated for its historical and artistic value, offering a window into the travel culture of Edo-period Japan.
