"Stations of the Tōkaidō" (東海道五十三次, Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi) is a renowned series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (also known as Andō Hiroshige) during the Edo period. The series, which consists of 55 prints, was first published between 1833 and 1834 and depicts the 53 official post stations (shukuba) along the Tōkaidō, the main route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto. This route was one of the most important and well-traveled roads in Japan, serving as a vital artery for commerce, travel, and communication.

Hiroshige's "Stations of the Tōkaidō" series is celebrated for its exquisite portrayal of landscapes, daily life, and the natural beauty of Japan. Each print captures a unique scene from one of the post stations, showcasing a variety of activities and environments, from bustling markets and serene temples to dramatic mountain passes and tranquil riversides. Hiroshige's keen observation and masterful use of color, perspective, and composition bring these scenes to life, offering viewers a vivid glimpse into the culture and scenery of 19th-century Japan.

The series was highly influential and marked a significant departure from the more traditional ukiyo-e subjects of courtesans and kabuki actors. Hiroshige's focus on landscapes and travel scenes helped to popularize the genre of landscape prints (fūkei-ga) and inspired future generations of artists, both in Japan and abroad. The "Stations of the Tōkaidō" remains one of Hiroshige's most famous and enduring works, celebrated for its artistic innovation and its ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural and cultural heritage.

Hiroshige's work on the Tōkaidō series not only reflects his artistic prowess but also provides valuable historical insights into the Edo period. The prints serve as a visual record of the era's travel customs, architectural styles, and the diverse activities of people along the route. Today, the "Stations of the Tōkaidō" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and its contribution to the rich tapestry of Japanese art history.
