"Tokaido Gojusan Tsugi No Uchi" (東海道五十三次之内), translated as "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," is a seminal series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the esteemed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige, in the Edo period. This series, first published in the 1830s, is among Hiroshige's most celebrated works and a pinnacle of the ukiyo-e genre, which flourished in Japan from the 17th through 19th centuries.

The series depicts the fifty-three stations (or stops) along the Tōkaidō, the coastal road linking Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital. This road was the most important of the Five Routes—a network of key roads in Japan—and Hiroshige's series captures the journey's varied landscapes, seasonal changes, and the diverse throngs of people who traveled the route, including feudal lords, samurai, merchants, and pilgrims. Each print in the series is not only a window into the cultural and social aspects of early 19th-century Japan but also showcases Hiroshige's mastery of composition, color, and perspective.

Hiroshige's "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" was produced in several editions, with the Hoeido edition being the first and most famous. This initial series was a commercial success and solidified Hiroshige's reputation. The prints were made using the traditional ukiyo-e woodblock printing technique, involving a collaborative process among the artist, the carver, the printer, and the publisher. Hiroshige's innovative use of color and composition influenced not only the development of Japanese art but also left a lasting impact on Western artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly on the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements.

Today, "Tokaido Gojusan Tsugi No Uchi" remains a significant cultural artifact, offering insight into the historical, cultural, and artistic milieu of Edo-period Japan. The series is held in high esteem both in Japan and internationally, with original prints found in numerous museum collections and studied for their artistic and historical value.
