These two vintage Japanese woodblock prints are classic scenes from the famous series of "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō " by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), known for his landscapes and depictions of 19th-century Japanese life.

The print showing travelers in heavy rain is the well-known "Driving Rain at Shōno" (Shōno hakuu); the town scene with figures is "Yokkaichi: Mie River". Both are part of Hiroshige’s groundbreaking Tōkaidō road series, which depicts the journey along the Tokaido road, the highway connecting Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto. With the Tokugawa Shogunate relaxing centuries of age-old restrictions on travel, urban populations embraced travel art and Hiroshige became one of the most prominent and successful ukiyo-e artists.

The two prints apparently were hand-printed in the traditional manner, likely early-to-mid 20th-century high quality restrikes rather than early originals from the Edo-period 1830s-1850s.

Measurements: 11"-13" (frame); 5.5" x 7.5" (art)
