Hiroshige Utagawa

Ukiyo-e master Utagawa Hiroshige’s series titled “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” depicts Edo across four seasons with original compositions and vivid colors. It is perhaps the best known series among ukiyo-e works, and even influenced the Impressionist western painter Vincent Van Gogh. Executed during Hiroshige’s late artistic career, the series contains many individual masterpieces such as “Plum Garden at Kameido” and “Evening Shower at Ōhashi Bridge and Atake”. The series gained popularity soon after its publication, and eventually more than one hundred different prints were produced by Hiroshige’s own hand despite the title “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo”. At this exhibition, we present all prints contained in the museum’s collection over two different periods in April and May.
