Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858)
One of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e tradition and a leading figure of the Utagawa school, Hiroshige is celebrated for his poetic landscapes and innovative compositions. Originally named Andō Tokutarō, he began as a pupil of Utagawa Toyohiro and made his debut around 1818. His major works include the famous series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833–34), One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–58), and The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaidō. Hiroshige’s prints capture atmospheric effects of light, weather, and season, blending realism with lyrical simplicity. His influence extended far beyond Japan, inspiring European artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, and Whistler. He died in Edo in 1858 during a cholera epidemic.
