"The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Road" (Kisokaidō rokujūkyū-tsugi), also known as "The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō," is a series of ukiyo-e prints created by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (also known as Ando Hiroshige) in collaboration with Keisai Eisen. This series, produced in the mid-19th century, depicts the sixty-nine post stations (stopping points) along the Kiso Kaidō, one of the five main roads of the Edo period Japan. The Kiso Kaidō connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto and was a popular subject for artists and poets, known for its scenic beauty and the varied landscapes it traversed.

Hiroshige is renowned for his landscape prints, and this series is particularly significant as it captures the essence of travel and the diverse vistas of Japan's countryside during the Edo period. Each print in the series portrays a different station along the route, offering a glimpse into the daily life, local customs, and the travelers who frequented the road. The series is characterized by Hiroshige's masterful use of color, composition, and perspective, which conveys a sense of both the beauty and the hardships of travel in pre-modern Japan.

The collaboration between Hiroshige and Eisen began around 1835, with Eisen contributing to the initial prints of the series. However, Hiroshige is believed to have completed the majority of the designs. The series was published by Takenouchi Magohachi (Hoeidō) and Tsutaya Kichizō (Kōeidō), and it remains one of Hiroshige's most celebrated works, alongside his other famous series such as "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" and "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo."

"The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Road" is not only a significant artistic achievement but also an important historical document, as it provides insight into the culture and geography of Japan during a time of relative isolation from the rest of the world. Today, the prints are highly valued by collectors and are held in various museums and private collections around the world, continuing to enchant viewers with their timeless beauty and historical importance.
