Beschreibung
This elegant volume showcases Hiroshige’s exquisite scenes of 19th-century Japan in a format that honors the Japanese bookmaking tradition.
Hiroshige, the last great master of the ukiyo-e tradition, produced works of subtle yet intense color. This collection of prints, first published in the 1850s, contains images of each of Japan’s provinces, capturing a crucial moment in Japan’s history, a decade before the Meiji Restoration would open the doors to industrialization and Western influence. These sweeping panoramas of the beautiful countryside combine the illusion of distance with a depth of detail that draws the viewer in. In addition to glorious landscapes, Hiroshige’s depictions of busy urban centers provide a rare insight into daily life in the Edo era.

Exquisite landscape prints by one of the most popular Japanese ukiyo-e artists
