Uta­gawa HIROSHIGE (1797–1858) is one of the most impor­tant ukiyo‑e ‑Land­scape painters. As a stu­dent of Uta­gawa Toy­ohi­ro, Hiroshige pro­duced pic­ture books with actors’ rep­re­sen­ta­tions ( yakusha-ehon ), Hero images ( musha‑e ) and depic­tions of beau­ti­ful women ( bijin-ga ). He estab­lished his rep­u­ta­tion as a land­scape painter with the series “53 sta­tions of the Tōkaidō” (1833–1834), in which he depict­ed land­scapes of the four sea­sons and the every­day life of the peo­ple liv­ing there. In his lat­er years he paint­ed among oth­ers the
“100 Views of Famous Places in Edo” and “Famous Places in More than 60 Provinces”. In addi­tion, Hiroshige designed a vari­ety of fan leaves and cre­at­ed mas­ter­ful wood­cuts with flo­ral and bird motifs.
