Utagawa Hiroshige
Utagawa Hiroshige ranks among the defining masters of the Japanese woodblock print, celebrated for landscape and poetry-inspired subjects rendered in ink and color on paper. His work belongs to the ukiyo-e tradition, in which carvers and printers translate a designer's drawing into layered, multicolored impressions. The present holding consists of a single album of eighty-eight woodblock prints from the series Ogura Imitations of One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets, with sheets dated 1845 and impressions up to that year.
