I'm curious to know why you are calling the woodcut print "53 Stages of Tokaido".  Is there a reason?  Here are the The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (Hōeidō edition), but I do not see yours listed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fifty-three_Stations_of_the_T%C5%8Dkaid%C5%8D

Also, there appears to be 3-artists with the name Hiroshige; Master and two students:

1.  Hiroshige (1797-1855); the Master
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshige

2.  Hiroshige II (1826-1869); His work so resembles that of his master that scholars have often confused them. 
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshige_II

     His signatures are shown here as well:

3.  Hiroshige III (1843-1894); He worked in the same artistic style as his master, but did not achieve anywhere near the same level of
     success.

You can compare your print to the original impression, it is most likely a reprint.

Thanks for the information Mat!  Just out of curiosity, what the heck was I looking at in the "Wiki" link that I provided?

SophieMarie, that was one of the many other versions Hiroshige made of that subject.

Always make sure there are spacers between the glass and any work on paper to prevent that damage !!
