Hiroshige’s The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōk... app for iPhone and iPad

The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (東海道五十三次), is a series of ukiyo-e woodcut prints created by Utagawa Hiroshige after his first travel along the Tōkaidō in 1832.
The Hōeidō edition of the Tōkaidō is Hiroshiges best known work, and the best sold ever ukiyo-e Japanese prints. Coming just after Hokusais Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, it established this new major theme of ukiyo-e, the landscape print, or fūkei-ga, with a special focus on "famous views" (meisho). These landscape prints took full advantage of the new possibilities offered by the Western representation of perspective, that Japanese artists had by now fully assimilated. Hiroshiges series met with full success, not only in Japan, but later in Western countries.
