About the artist
Utagawa Hiroshige was a preeminent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period. Widely celebrated for his landscape woodblock prints, particularly those of the "Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō" series, Hiroshige's art captured the beauty of nature and the changing seasons. His works, characterised by their meticulous details, vibrant colours, and atmospheric effects, influenced Western artists like Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet. Hiroshige's legacy endures as a master of the ukiyo-e genre, celebrated for his poetic and evocative depictions of Japan's landscapes and culture.
