Experience the revolutionary landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (now known as Tokyo) by Utagawa Hiroshige, published in the 1850s. Considered one of the greatest collections of Japanese prints, each print is recognized as a masterpiece in Japanese art.

Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo offers a comprehensive look at 118 locations in and around Edo, present-day Tokyo, throughout the changing seasons. Unique perspectives and advanced woodblock printing techniques, such as color gradation, are showcased in the exquisite luxury versions. While the original complete set of these early versions is no longer available, this collector's edition presents a complete set of early printings, curated from 32 different museums and private collections.

Author Andreas Marks compiled this definitive guide to Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo by consulting a total of 4,700 prints. The guide features versions of prints and includes reference images that reveal where Hiroshige found inspiration for each view, including previous books and illustrations. This comprehensive guide provides a thorough understanding of Hiroshige's complex masterpiece and the Japanese print market during the time period.

The introductory section of the book delves into the origins of the series within the realm of Japanese landscape art, combined with a glimpse into Hiroshige's personal background. The entire collection of 118 prints is included, along with their original sources and a map displaying the depicted locations. Additionally, a comprehensive appendix analyzes the notable color variations in later editions of the series.

Über den Künstler

Katsushika Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai, known simply as Hokusai (1760—1849) was a Japanese master artist and printmaker of the ukiyo-e (“pictures of the floating world”) school. His early works represent the full spectrum of ukiyo-e art, including single-sheet prints of landscapes and actors, hand paintings, and surimono (“printed things”), such as greetings and announcements. His famous print series “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji,” published between 1826 and 1833, marked the summit in the history of the Japanese landscape print.
