Description

One of the last great masters of the Edo-period ukiyo-e painting and printmaking, Utagawa Hiroshige’s artwork invites you to experience everyday life in Japan’s capital city of Edo (known today as Tokyo). Hiroshige’s work honors the past and the present in his landscape and genre scenes that capture the spirit of mid-19th century Edo. With his use of soft colors and saturated ambiance, Hiroshige’s woodblock-print series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo ranks among the greatest achievements of Japanese art. This 500-piece puzzle features one of the prints from that collection.
