"Women Stopping Travelers at Goyu" is a renowned woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the mid-19th century, this print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts scenes along the Tōkaidō road, the important travel and trade route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto.

The Goyu print stands out within the series as it portrays a scene at the post station of Goyu, which was the thirty-sixth of the fifty-three stations. This particular image is notable for its depiction of a common practice at the time: tea house women (chaya-ura) attempting to entice travelers to enter their establishments. The women are shown actively intercepting the travelers, a scene that reflects the competitive nature of businesses catering to those journeying along the Tōkaidō.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of perspective, composition, and color, which are evident in this print. The artist captures the dynamic interaction between the travelers and the women with a sense of immediacy that conveys the lively atmosphere of the post station. The print is also a valuable historical document, providing insight into the customs and culture of travel in Edo-period Japan.

As part of Hiroshige's Tōkaidō series, "Women Stopping Travelers at Goyu" has been widely studied and admired for its artistic qualities and its contribution to the genre of landscape prints. The series itself is considered a pinnacle of Hiroshige's career and a significant achievement in the ukiyo-e tradition, influencing not only Japanese art but also Western artists who later discovered Japanese prints during the 19th century Japonisme movement.
