A diagonal thatched roof cuts through the frame, and a red paper lantern hangs from the eaves as the single warm accent. Travellers and packhorses loaded with bundled goods and crates move along the route, while men work at an inn counter with papers. The characters 東海道五拾三次 and 石薬師 appear in the print, with the artist's name 廣重 signed into the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road traced the highway linking Edo and Kyoto, and each print in the series framed one of its post towns as a place of rest and passage. Ishiyakushi is one of those stations, and Hiroshige's scene turns an ordinary stop into a record of travel, commerce and daily life during the Edo period. The series became one of the defining works of the genre, and this print carries that legacy as an early twentieth-century reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Sticker's Own Outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker lets the print keep its own edges, so the composition can be lifted cleanly from its background and placed where its shape suits the surface. Hiroshige's panels were built around framing and sightlines, and a cut decal preserves that intent, letting the roof line, tree and lantern read as one contained scene in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48289904820442,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-2X2-320","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289904787674,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-2X2-319","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48289904885978,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-3X3-320","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289904853210,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-3X3-319","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48289904951514,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-4X4-320","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289904918746,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-4X4-319","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48289905017050,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-6X6-320","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289904984282,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-6X6-319","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/utagawa-hiroshige-ishiyakushi-from-the-series-the-fifty-three-stations-of-the-tkaid-road-early-20th-century-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-2X2-320-alt-3.webp?v=1785657713","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/utagawa-hiroshige-ishiyakushi-from-the-series-the-fifty-three-stations-of-the-tkaid-road-early-20th-century-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
