Hokusai ́s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1804 horizontal is something completely different from his first square edition 1801 and second edition 1802. Hokusai completely changes his style compared to the three previous series, 1801, 1802 and 1804 vertical.

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.

Hokusai ́s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1806 Horizontal is the last known full Tokaido series by Hokusai. 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 explores novel ways of designing the print, further developing what he started in the 1804 Horizontal Tokaido. Hokusai experiments with person themes, voids and white space but also do great full landscapes and humorous encounters on the road.

Keisai Eisen (1790 -1848) is especially known for his bijin-ga, pretty women, and landscapes. He is well known for his participation in the series 69 stations of the Nakasendo together with Hiroshige. The series A Tokaido Board Game of Courtesans, Fifty-three Pairings in the Yoshiwara use the Tokaido with landscape inserts as an excuse for showing courtesans and geisha, bijin-ga, to skirt the censorship. It was published 1821-1823. His bijin-ga are considered to be masterpieces of the "decadent" Bunsei Era (1818-1830). Most of them have impressive hairdo with many ornamental hairpins and combs. Their dress is extravagant with beautiful patterns and sublime embroideries. Their faces are elongated squares with long noses and small pouted painted mouths. Courtesans were desirable for their rich and splendid attire, not so much for their beauty and their names were actually like trademarks for a series of girls performing the same name role with the brothel in question.

The Aritaya Fifty Three Stations of the Tokaido Road is one of the most beautiful of Hiroshiges huge production of landscape print series in spite of its small size. It is only abt 10 x 15 cm (with variations), Yotsugiri yokoban (quarter oban). It is also unusual in that it is a veritable full course and manual in landscape print design. It is a very rewarding study. 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.
