Collection: Utagawa Hiroshige

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was the last of the great masters of Japanese ukiyo-e, and he made his name on landscape. Two series in particular — The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and One Hundred Famous Views of Edo — captured the seasons, weather, and shifting moods of the road and the city in a way no artist before him had done. Van Gogh, Whistler, and the French Impressionists would all study his compositions closely.
