ABOUT THE ARTIST

Utagawa Hiroshige was one of the last great masters of Edo-period ukiyo-e painting and printmaking. He created some of his most influential works during the final decade of his life. His landscapes, seascapes, and scenes of daily life honor the past and present, the timeless and the ephemeral.

His woodblock print series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo ranks among the greatest achievements of Japanese art. The series expresses the culture and spirit of Edo throughout the seasons, reflecting the culmination of more than 200 years of uninterrupted peace and prosperity.
