Description
Utagawa Hiroshige was a master of ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese woodblock print genre that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. Characterised by its vibrant and vivid depictions of everyday life, ukiyo-e works were often used as designs for fans, greeting cards, and book illustrations. This book presents a selection of key images from Hiroshige's portfolio, showcasing his unique style and artistic vision. Hiroshige's prints had a profound influence on the development of art in the West, inspiring artists such as Vincent van Gogh and James Abbott McNeill Whistler. His landscapes, in particular, are renowned for their beauty and accuracy, offering a glimpse into the natural world of 19th-century Japan. With its stunning images and insightful introduction, this book is an ideal introduction to one of the greatest artists of Asian art history.
