Conflating the real and the imaginary, the series “Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō” transports us on the legendary route that connected Edo (Tokyo) to the former imperial capital of Japan, Kyōto. These prints demonstrate how Hiroshige and his publishing team masterfully recast a landscape into a dream.
