Utagawa Hiroshige was a master artist in the ukiyo-e tradition who was active towards the end of the Edo period in Japan. His varied landscapes, which allowed people to enjoy the sensation of traveling without leaving home, include landscapes as seen from important routes of the time and pictures of famous places. Not simply pictorial, the landscapes combine a variety of elements such as season, climate, and time of day. This book presents 150 works selected from the private collection of ukiyo-e housed in Kameyama, one of the stations on the Tokaido road. Together these nostalgic, unspoiled landscapes, masterfully rendered by Hiroshige, bring old Japan to life.
