Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. 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.
