The "Tokaido Gojusan Tsugi" (The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido) is a renowned series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Produced between 1833 and 1834, this series is celebrated for its vivid and evocative depictions of the Tokaido, the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo period in Japan, which connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto.

Hiroshige's series consists of 55 prints, including one for each of the 53 post stations along the Tokaido road, plus one for the starting point at Nihonbashi in Edo and one for the terminus in Kyoto. Each print captures a unique scene from these stations, showcasing the diverse landscapes, weather conditions, and daily activities of travelers and locals. The series is acclaimed for its innovative compositions, use of perspective, and the artist's ability to convey the atmosphere and mood of each location.

The Tokaido road was a vital artery for commerce, travel, and communication during the Edo period, and Hiroshige's work provides a valuable historical record of this important route. His prints offer insights into the cultural and social aspects of the time, depicting samurai, merchants, pilgrims, and peasants, as well as the natural beauty of Japan's countryside.

Hiroshige's "Tokaido Gojusan Tsugi" had a significant impact on both Japanese and Western art. It influenced many Western artists, including the Impressionists, who admired Hiroshige's use of color, composition, and ability to capture fleeting moments. The series remains one of the most famous and beloved works of Japanese art, celebrated for its artistic excellence and its portrayal of a quintessentially Japanese experience.
