Utagawa Hiroshige (17971858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyoe tradition. Literally meaning pictures of the floating world, ukiyoe was a particular genre of art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries and came to characterize the Western worlds visual idea of Japan. In many ways images of hedonism, ukiyoe scenes often represented the bright lights and attractions of Edo (modernday Tokyo): beautiful women, actors and wrestlers, city life, and spectacular landscapes.Though he captured a variety of subjects, Hiroshige was most famous for landscapes, with a final masterpiece series known as One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (18561858), which depicted various scenes of the city through the seasons, from bustling shopping streets to splendid cherry orchards.This reprint is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo. It pairs each of the 120 illustrations with a description, allowing readers to immerse themselves in these beautiful, vibrant vistas that became paradigms of Japonisme and inspired Impressionist, PostImpressionist and Art Nouveau artists alike, from Vincent van Gogh to James McNeill Whistler.
