Hiroshige

This beautifully illustrated volume is dedicated to the life and work of Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), one of the last great masters of the Japanese woodblock print tradition known as ukiyo-e. Renowned for his poetic depictions of landscapes, seasonal transitions, and everyday life in Edo-period Japan, Hiroshige captured fleeting moments with exceptional grace and sensitivity. The book showcases a rich selection of his most iconic series, including The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō and One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, offering insight into both his technical mastery and the cultural context of his time. An essential addition for art lovers, collectors, and those fascinated by Japanese aesthetics, this publication highlights Hiroshige’s lasting influence on Western art, particularly the Impressionists.
