'Hiroshige' (1797-1858) was one of the artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Though he captured a variety of subjects, his talent was in creating landscapes of his native Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and his final masterpiece was a series known as 'One Hundred Famous Views of Edo' (1856-1858). This reprint pairs each of the 120 large-scale illustrations with a description, allowing readers to plunge themselves into Hiroshige’s landscapes.
