All the way through Hiroshige follows certain design principles of proportion of elements, arranging elements and views by diagonals and parallels and balancing of color elements. Compared to most of his other Tokaido series Hiroshige in Aritaya focus on letting the landscape tell the story instead of letting people or legend do that, although this is not followed through completely.

The official title for this work is "Pictures from the Famous Places of the Fifty-three Stations". Hiroshige produced these prints in 1855 more than 20 years after his first horizontal Hoeido series published 1833-34, which is included as thumbnails for comparison. It is instructive to see Hiroshiges use of his now mature experience as he develops the vertical format for the narrative. He does designs as he would do a photograph. He set the standard for landscape photography, without a camera. The Tokaido series was the most popular print series ever made in Japan. Hiroshige returned to this theme again and again, with delightful results. It is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then. The postal stations were constructed between 1601 and 1624.

Hokusai ́s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1805 - 1806 is something completely different! It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life ́s work. It is different from much of Hokusai ́s other well known work, like his 100 Views of Mt Fuji. But in that series Hokusai still retained a lot of the humor and the caricature found here. It is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai does not focus on the landscape and the markers that Hiroshige and others showed. Instead Hokusai focus on the events, the interactions between the travellers, the tales that you will share with your friends when you get back home. It was a great and earlier contribution to the Tokaido literature

Hokusai ́s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1804 Vertical is something completely different from his 1801 and 1802 series and from the 1804 horizontal. It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji 1832, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life ́s work. This series shows his development of the themes based on the two first series, 1801 and 1802, and a transition to his 1804 horizontal series, which again is a precursor to his sublime 36 Views of Mt Fuji. As the reader progresses through Hokusai ́s Tokaido series it will become evident how Hokusai develops the concept, develops the format, the themes and then mixes them with true genius. This series is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai does not focus only on the landscape and the markers that Hiroshige and others showed.

The 53 Stations of the Tokaido by Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - 12 January 1865) is both a tour through the landscape of Japan and a cultural introduction. But first of all it is a fashion magazine about beautiful, young and stylish Japanese women in 1838. These young beauties were one of the subjects Kunisada excelled in. Kunisada show beautiful girls from all walks of life, explorers and adventurers, musicians, theater stars, imperial concubines, country girls, business women. They all have beauty and great fashion taste as the common denominator. His landscapes were a means of circumventing censorship especially of theater prints and pin-up prints of pretty ladies, bijin-ga. The work is probably one of the most romantic of all the Tokaido series.

Come on the journey from Edo, modern day Tokyo, to Kyoto, as experienced by Utagawa Hiroshige in, when he travelled the Tokaido road to participate in 1832 an important procession in Kyoto. There were 69 post stations along this other, parallel road over the mountains, apart from the start and terminus, in all 70 prints, which are all here in the order from Edo to Kyoto, but one station has two prints, so in total 71 prints in the Nakasendo. These were the most popular print series ever made in Japan. They were even more popular than Hokusais series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been recently published and which had influenced Hiroshige tremendously. It is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then. The postal stations were constructed between 1601 and 1624.
