- Description: A compact but richly illustrated introduction to Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), one of the last great masters of ukiyo-e (浮世絵), the Japanese woodblock print tradition that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. Hiroshige's landscapes — cherry trees in bloom, dramatic ocean views, snow-covered mountain passes — became paradigms of Japonisme and directly inspired Western artists from Van Gogh to Whistler. Written by Adele Schlombs, director of the Museum of East Asian Art in Cologne, the book presents approximately 100 key works with contextual commentary, a chronological biography, and cultural-historical background. Part of Taschen's best-selling Basic Art Series.
