Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858)
At the age of 13, he inherited the family estate and lost his parents at the same time. At 15, he became a disciplined Utagawa Toyohiro and took on the name Hiroshige. His teacher Toyohiro passed, and Hiroshige published Famous Places in the Eastern Capital in 1831, and the next year, in 1832, published The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, his masterpiece.
This firmly established his status as a landscape artist.
From that point on, he received commissions one after another. He worked on many pictures of famous places, rich in poetic sentiment, including The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaido, co-created with Heisai Eisen. In his final years, he released the culmination of his artistic skill, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, as his last crowning achievement.
