Considered a master of the Japanese landscape print, Hiroshige Utagawa 歌川広重 (1797-1858) is known for his meisho-e, or images of famous places. 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 (Hoeido)," published between 1833-34. Although Hiroshige produced several Tokaido series throughout this lifetime, the Hoeido version is most sought after for its dramatic compositions. Other impressions of this design are held in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum and Minneapolis Institute of Art.
This is an early state of the design, indicated by the rich blue gradation in the water and sharp woodblock impression.
Publisher: Hoeido
Signature: Hiroshige ga
