"The Upright Tokaido" by Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige, is a celebrated series of woodblock prints that captures the scenic beauty and cultural richness of the Tokaido road, one of the most important routes in Edo-period Japan. This series, created in the mid-19th century, is a testament to Hiroshige's masterful ability to blend landscape art with the ukiyo-e tradition, which focuses on the "floating world" of transient pleasures and everyday life.

The Tokaido road, stretching from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto, was a vital artery for travel and commerce, and it featured 53 official post stations where travelers could rest and resupply. Hiroshige's series, often referred to as the "Vertical Tokaido" due to its distinctive vertical format, comprises 55 prints, including the starting point at Nihonbashi in Edo and the terminus at Sanjo Ohashi in Kyoto, along with the 53 stations in between.

Each print in "The Upright Tokaido" series is meticulously detailed, showcasing a variety of landscapes, from bustling urban centers and serene rural vistas to dramatic coastal scenes and majestic mountains. Hiroshige's keen observation and artistic skill are evident in his use of color, perspective, and composition, which together evoke the atmosphere and mood of each location. The series not only serves as a visual travelogue but also provides insight into the daily lives, customs, and attire of the people who lived along the Tokaido road.

Hiroshige's work on "The Upright Tokaido" is highly regarded for its innovative approach to landscape art and its influence on both Japanese and Western art. The series has been widely studied and admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance, making it a cornerstone of Hiroshige's legacy and a cherished example of the ukiyo-e genre.
