Hiroshige, Shaping the Image of Japan

Chris Uhlenbeck,Marije Jansen

Hiroshige. Shaping the Image of Japan is a comprehensive overview of Utagawa Hiroshige’s work as a woodblock print artist. Hiroshige (1797-1858) is one of the great masters in the history of Japanese printmaking and has worked in virtually every genre of ukiyo-e or ‘images of the floating world’. He achieved his greatest fame through his depictions of the Japanese landscape, which were not only popular in Japan, but also found favor with European artists at the turn of the 19th century.
