Utagawa Hiroshige

Utagawa Hiroshige was a Japanese ukiyo-e printmaker celebrated for lyrical landscapes and views of famous places. His best-known series include *Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō* and *One Hundred Famous Views of Edo*, which helped establish landscape prints as a major form of late Edo-period art. Trained under Utagawa Toyohiro, Hiroshige also produced actor prints, images of beautiful women, bird-and-flower works, and book illustrations.
