Hiroshige, along with Hokusai, Sharaku, and a few others, is one of the great masters of Japanese ukiyo-e traditional woodblock printing. Ukiyo-e means “pictures of the floating world.” I love how Japanese, and Chinese, landscape art usually show the human presence as almost insignificant. This is a wonderful example.
