"Oiso, Gojyusan Tsugi No Uchi" (translated as "Oiso, One of the Fifty-Three Stations" in English and "Oiso, Un Des Cinquante-Trois Relais" in French) is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This artwork is part of Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts each of the fifty-three stations (or stops) along the Tōkaidō road, the vital coastal route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital during the Edo period (1603-1868).

Created in the mid-19th century, Hiroshige's series captures the journey along the Tōkaidō with a blend of picturesque landscapes, snapshots of daily life, and the diverse interactions of travelers along the route. "Oiso, Gojyusan Tsugi No Uchi" specifically portrays the station of Oiso, capturing its unique geographical features, local culture, and the bustling activity of people going about their daily lives or journeying along the Tōkaidō. Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its masterful composition, delicate use of color, and the ability to evoke a sense of place and time, making the viewer feel as if they are part of the scene.

Hiroshige's prints, including "Oiso, Gojyusan Tsugi No Uchi," were made using the ukiyo-e technique, a traditional Japanese woodblock printing method. This involved the collaborative effort of the artist, who designed the print; the carver, who carved the design into woodblocks for each color; and the printer, who applied ink to the blocks and pressed them onto paper. Hiroshige's innovative compositions, attention to detail, and the technical skill evident in his prints contributed significantly to the international recognition of ukiyo-e art.

The "Dessins Preparatoires" (preparatory drawings) for Hiroshige's series, including the print of Oiso, provide insight into the artist's creative process, showing how he planned the layout, perspective, and elements of each scene before the final prints were produced. These drawings are valuable resources for understanding the artistic and historical context of the Tōkaidō series, as well as Hiroshige's influence on both Japanese art and Western artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Today, "Oiso, Gojyusan Tsugi No Uchi" and the rest of Hiroshige's Tōkaidō series are held in high esteem as masterpieces of ukiyo-e art, offering a captivating glimpse into the culture, landscape, and travel of Edo-period Japan. They continue to be studied and admired for their artistic beauty and historical significance, reflecting Hiroshige's enduring legacy as one of Japan's greatest artists.
