The "Serie Du Tsutaya Tokaido" is a celebrated series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Hiroshige, who lived from 1797 to 1858, is widely regarded as one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e tradition, which flourished during the Edo period in Japan. This particular series, also known as the "Tsutaya Edition" or "Tsutaya-ban Tokaido," is one of the many iterations of Hiroshige's famous Tokaido series, which depict the scenic views along the Tokaido road, the main travel route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto.

The "Serie Du Tsutaya Tokaido" was published by Tsutaya Kichizo, a prominent publisher of ukiyo-e prints during the Edo period. This series is distinguished by its unique artistic style and the high quality of its prints, which capture the essence of the landscapes, towns, and people along the Tokaido road. Hiroshige's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere and mood of each location make this series a significant contribution to the genre of landscape art.

Each print in the series represents one of the 53 stations of the Tokaido, along with the starting point in Edo and the endpoint in Kyoto, totaling 55 prints. These stations were official post towns where travelers could rest, eat, and find lodging. Hiroshige's depictions of these stations are not merely topographical; they are imbued with a sense of narrative and often include scenes of daily life, seasonal changes, and weather conditions, providing a vivid portrayal of travel and life in 19th-century Japan.

The "Serie Du Tsutaya Tokaido" is highly regarded for its artistic merit and historical significance. It offers a window into the Edo period's culture, geography, and social dynamics. Hiroshige's masterful use of color, composition, and perspective in this series has influenced numerous artists, both in Japan and internationally, and continues to be celebrated as a pinnacle of ukiyo-e art.
