Famous Japanese Ukiyo-e artist, Ando Hiroshige (1797 – 1858) is known for his poetic interpretations of ordinary landscapes. Assuming his father’s firefighting job when he was orphaned at age 12, Hiroshige was inspired to become an artist when he saw the works of the rennowned Hokusai. Starting out as a protrait artist, he ultimately achieved fame for his landscapes. His artwork, including his masterpiece, “Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido,” used unique perspectives, bold colors and realistic depth. When tourism boomed, Hiroshige was inspired by his own travels to create an incredible 5,400 prints.
