"Okitsu" is one of the woodblock prints from the renowned series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" by Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the Edo period, this series was first published in the 1830s and depicts the fifty-three post stations, plus the starting and ending points, of the Tōkaidō road, the major travel and trade route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto.

The "Okitsu" print specifically portrays the twenty-second station along the Tōkaidō, capturing the essence of Okitsu-juku in the Shizuoka Prefecture. Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of perspective, color, and composition to convey the beauty and unique atmosphere of each location. In "Okitsu," he illustrates travelers and local inhabitants engaging with the natural and built environment, often incorporating elements such as the Okitsu River and the surrounding landscape to reflect the interplay between humanity and nature.

Hiroshige's prints, including "Okitsu," were highly influential both in Japan and overseas, contributing to the Japonisme movement in Europe and impacting Western artists such as Vincent van Gogh and James McNeill Whistler. "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" remains one of Hiroshige's most celebrated works, with "Okitsu" being a prime example of his artistic legacy. The series not only offers a glimpse into the travel culture of Edo-period Japan but also serves as an important historical record of the Tōkaidō road and its significance in the cultural and economic exchange between regions.
