| | Hiroshige - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Legend has it that Hiroshige determined to become a ukiyo-e artist when he saw the prints of his near-contemporary, Hokusai. | | | Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese: 安藤広重; 1797 in Edo – October 12, 1858) (also known as "Andō Hiroshige", "Andro Hiroshige", and "Ichiyusai Hiroshige") was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, and one of the last great artists in that tradition. | | | But as the years passed, Hiroshige determined to produce truly great art, and not the effortless works that characterized most of his work. |

| | Hiroshige was at the height of his artistic ability from around 1834 to 1840; his art was then at peak of its popularity. | | | Hiroshige was orphaned in his twelfth year and succeeded to his father's post as fireman, studying painting all the while. | | | Hiroshige was his "studio surname", bestowed upon him by his painting master Toyohiro when young Hiroshige was fifteen and had just entered his master's school. |

| | Ando Hiroshige Biography / Biography of Ando Hiroshige Biography Biography |
| | Hiroshige depicted the landscapes, as well as the people traveling about the country or performing their daily tasks, with such care that they serve as a record of Japanese life of the mid-19th century. | | | Hiroshige's early work, which consisted of actor and courtesan prints, was neither original nor particularly distinguished, and it was only when he turned to landscapes, after Hokusai's great success with his Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji, that Hiroshige found his own unique style and achieved a fame even greater than that of Hokusai. | | | The Japanese painter and printmaker Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858) is considered one of the six great masters of the Ukiyo-e school. |

| | This experience led Hiroshige to depict the Tokaido many times later in his career. | | | After the death of Toyohiro in 1828, Hiroshige went out on his own, turning to landscape prints, eventually publishing a ten print series, "Views of Edo." At that time landscape prints satisfied the Japanese public's desire to see things they had never seen and probably would never see. | | | He worked closely with Kunisada and Hiroshige, both of whom he collaborated with on numerous occasions. |

| | The Bohemian vs. The Bureaucrat: Hokusai and Hiroshige |
| | Later, as Hiroshige's artistic career developed, he supported himself by selling his art, but even as he ceased to be a bureaucrat officially, he remained an establishment man, a joiner, one whose tastes and sensibilities matched those of the group he represented. | | | Hokusai was a prime example of the independent and bohemian artist, and Hiroshige, 37 years younger, typified the artist of the establishment point of view. | | | In fact, the landscape prints of Hiroshige do not depict exactly what was before his eyes, although they are a serious attempt to base his composition on a confrontation with reality. |
