"Serie Du Jimbutsu Tokaido," also known as "Tokaido Gojusan Tsugi no Uchi" (The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido), is a celebrated series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige, in the Edo period. This series, produced between 1833 and 1834, is one of Hiroshige's most famous works and a seminal representation of the Tokaido, the road connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital.

The series depicts the fifty-three stations along the Tokaido, plus the starting and ending points, making a total of fifty-five prints. Each print captures the unique character and local flavor of the respective station, offering a picturesque journey through the varied landscapes and seasons of Japan. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition reflects the travel culture of the Edo period, where the Tokaido was not only a vital commercial artery but also a popular route for pilgrimages and tourism.

Hiroshige's Tokaido series stands out for its innovative approach to the theme of travel, focusing on the experiences of the journey rather than just the destinations. The prints often include figures from various strata of society, from samurai to merchants to pilgrims, and feature a variety of settings, from bustling marketplaces to quiet countryside scenes. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to evoke mood and atmosphere have made the "Serie Du Jimbutsu Tokaido" a timeless classic in the genre of landscape prints.

The series was extremely popular in its time and had a profound influence on the development of ukiyo-e, as well as on Western artists who later came into contact with Japanese prints. Hiroshige's work, including the "Serie Du Jimbutsu Tokaido," played a significant role in the Japonisme movement that swept through Europe in the late 19th century, impacting the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements.

Today, Hiroshige's "Serie Du Jimbutsu Tokaido" is highly regarded for its historical and artistic value, and original prints are held in numerous museum collections around the world. The series continues to be a subject of study for scholars of Japanese art and culture, and it remains a beloved example of Hiroshige's legacy as one of the great masters of ukiyo-e.
