The 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō by Kano Shugen Sadanobu (Sadanobu II) is a series of 50 miniature prints published by the Tokyo Metro Library to ukiyo-e.org.
It is interesting for the Tōkaidō subject, because it is in reverse order, the trip going from Kyoto to Edo, like the Tōkaidō meisho zue from 1797 ISBN 978-1-63752-657-6.
It is miniature copies of Hiroshige's Kichizo Tōkaidō, and the main difference is that the artist lightens Hiroshige's evening and night colored prints. The artist does not change the directional views in the prints. The authors were only able to find 50 of the expected 54 prints in a Tōkaidō series. The missing prints are the last four in the trip.
The artist is identified as Sadanobu II Hasegawa (Kano Shugen, Konobu) 1848 -1890, some say born c. 1850.
