Details

This volume offers a lavishly-illustrated guide to the works of the great Ukiyo-e artist, Ando Hiroshige  1797-1858). Hiroshige holds an assured place in the history of art as one of the greatest masters of the wood-block print. For this book, every effort has been made to reproduce only the finest early impressions. Each plate is provided with a commentary by Matthi Forrer who, in an introductory essay, examines Hiroshige's life and work, assessing his place in Japanese art and making important revisions to the generally accepted chronology of his oeuvre. Other essays draw attention to aspects of Hiroshige's life and work which have often been overlooked and place Hiroshige and his art in their social and political context.
