Featuring delicate colors and awe-inspiring tones, renowned artist Utagawa Hiroshige's artwork allows you to journey into the natural world as he knew it. One of the last great figures of the Edo-period, Hiroshige's creative output during the last decade of his life cemented his position as one of the most influential ukiyo-e painters and printmakers of all time. His works explore the juxtaposition of the past and present, as well as capturing a range of landscapes, flowers, and everyday scenes. His renowned series, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of Japanese art. Created between 1856 and 1858, the series captures and preserves the spirit and appearance of Edo during a continuous period of more than 200 years of peace and prosperity.

About the Artist

Utagawa Hiroshige

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The subjects of his work were atypical of the ukiyo-e genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the urban pleasure districts of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868). Subtle use of color was essential in Hiroshige's prints, often printed with multiple impressions in the same area and with extensive use of bokashi (color gradation), both of which were rather labor-intensive techniques.
