A street lined with drapers‘ shops leads straight to a snow-capped Mount Fuji, its cone rising above layered grey haze under a pink dawn sky. Long blue-tiled roofs run down both sides of the street, and indigo shop curtains marked with a circled trademark hang below them beside tall yellow signboards. Below, a crowd fills the roadway, including a mounted rider and a peddler carrying baskets on a shoulder pole.
Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was the last great master of the ukiyo-e landscape print. Born into a family of fire wardens in Edo, he turned to printmaking under Utagawa Toyohiro and found his subject in the roads and seasons of Japan — above all in the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833–34) and the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–58). His snow, rain and evening skies, and his bold near-and-far compositions, were studied closely by Van Gogh, Whistler and Monet. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
