Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō
Is a series of woodcut images made by Utagawa Hiroshige after his first journey along the Tōkaidō in 1832.
The Tōkaidō Road, connecting the shogunal capital of Edo with the imperial one of Kyoto, was the main travel and transportation artery of ancient Japan.
This is a re-carved woodcut from circa 1960.
This is a woodcut that is made with the same techniques as the original woodcuts. In this series they used improved pigments instead of natural pigments. This has the advantage that the woodcuts are more resistant to exposure to e.g. sunlight.
