Hiroshige. Views of Edo and other works

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was born the son of a Samurai who held the position of a fire inspector in Edo, later Tokyo. At the age of 15 he became a pupil of the woodcut master Utagawa Toyohiro. His first great success was the series “53 stations on the Tokaido” (Tôkaidô gojûsan tsugi no uchi). This exhibition will show 47 drawings from Hiroshige's well-known series “100 Views of Edo” and other works from the museum's own collection.
