''Jimbutsu Tokaido'' (人物東海道), also known as the "Tokaido with Figures" or "Tokaido with People," is a series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This series, produced in the mid-19th century, is one of several interpretations of the famous Tokaido road by Hiroshige. The Tokaido was the most traveled route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital, during the Edo period.

Hiroshige's ''Jimbutsu Tokaido'' distinguishes itself from his other Tokaido series by emphasizing human figures and daily activities along the road, rather than focusing primarily on the landscape. This approach provides a more intimate and detailed glimpse into the lives of travelers, merchants, and locals during the period. Each print in the series typically features a station along the Tokaido, capturing the unique character and hustle and bustle of the location through the portrayal of people and their interactions.

The ''Jimbutsu Tokaido'' series is less well-known than Hiroshige's iconic ''Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido'' (also known as the ''Hoeido Tokaido'' after the publisher), which primarily showcases the scenic beauty of the landscape along the route. Nevertheless, ''Jimbutsu Tokaido'' is celebrated for its rich cultural and historical significance, offering insights into the clothing, customs, and social dynamics of Japan during the Edo period.

Hiroshige's work has had a profound influence on the development of ukiyo-e and landscape art in Japan, and his prints have been admired for their compositional mastery, delicate use of color, and ability to evoke the essence of a place. The ''Jimbutsu Tokaido'' series is a testament to Hiroshige's versatility as an artist and his keen observation of the world around him. It remains an important cultural artifact, reflecting the intersection of travel, society, and art in 19th-century Japan.
