Description

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) is one of the great masters of Japanese woodblock printing and a central figure of ukiyo-e , the art of "pictures of the floating world." Renowned for his evocative depictions of landscapes and scenes of daily life, especially from the capital city of Edo, present-day Tokyo, Hiroshige delicately captured the atmosphere of 19th-century Japan. Through nearly 200 prints, this volume invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of changing seasons, tranquil paths, and ephemeral beauty.
