His inventive use of color and diagonal compositions enchanted Western European artists such as Manet and Monet, who collected and took inspiration from Hiroshige's work. Even Van Gogh reproduced Hiroshige's "Sudden Shower at Ohashi Bridge" and "Plum Garden at Kameido" in two of his own paintings. Designs from Hiroshige's masterwork series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," "53 Stations of the Tokaido Road," and "Famous Views in the 60-odd Provinces" can be found in museum collections worldwide.

This print is from Hiroshige's masterwork series "53 Stations of the Tokaido Road (Upright Tokaido)" published in 1855. It is from the first edition, published by Tsutaya Kichizo, which differs drastically in quality and detail when compared to posthumous editions that were issued starting in the late 19th century. Other impressions of this design are held in the Van Gogh Museum and British Museum.

This is an early state of the design, indicated by the woodgrain, crisp lines, and nice bokashi shading.

Publisher: Tsutaya Kichizo
Signature: Hiroshige hitsu
