## Description

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Literally meaning “pictures of the floating world,” ukiyo-e was a particular woodblock print genre of art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. Subjects ranged from the bright lights and attractions of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), to spectacular natural landscapes.In the West, Hiroshige’s prints became exemplary of the Japonisme that swept through Europe and defined the Western world’s visual idea of Japan. Because they could be mass produced, ukiyo-e works were often used as designs for fans, greeting cards, and book illustrations. The style influenced Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Art Nouveau artists alike, with Vincent van Gogh and James Abbott McNeill Whistler both particularly inspired by Hiroshige’s landscapes.This introductory book presents key images from Hiroshige’s vibrant, vivid portfolio of blooming cherry trees, beautiful women, Kabuki actors, and busy shopping streets to introduce one of the greats of Asian art history.

This 95-page medium size book presents a substantial overview of the works of Hiroshige as well as the essential elements of his professional and personal life. His influence on Western artists such as Van Gogh and Whistler is briefly discussed in the last chapter. The text is complemented by high quality illustrations, printed on matte paper, no doubt in the spirit of the artist’s original works. Sadly, the pleasure of reading the book is a bit marred by the all too frequent repetitions, that are not limited to the information provided in the main text and that in the captions. Also, though the book concludes with a three-page synthesis of Hiroshige’s life, there is neither an index nor a bibliography. Still, this Taschen book provides excellent value for the price charged and is recommended to all interested in Japan’s unique culture.
