About the Item

A wonderful Japanese woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando Hiroshige) (1797-1858) tilted "Yoroi Ferry at Koami-cho (Yoroi no watashi Koami-cho)" and from his One Hundred Famous Views of Edo series which consisted of 119 ukiyo-e prints begun and largely completed by Hiroshige (Hiroshige II completing the series after Hiroshige's death). The prints were first published in Japan in serialized form from 1856–59. Hiroshige divided the 119 images into Four Seasons. This work, number 46, was part of his summer section images. The print is signed and sealed by Hiroshige who is universally considered Japan's finest ukiyo-e artist and the last great master of the tradition and exhibits a wonderful composition and rich, beautiful colors. A very sought-after and coveted image in the series. Hiroshige's work can be found in numerous collections and museums including: The Brooklyn Museum, NY The National Galleries of Scotland The Art Institute of Chicago The British Museum, London UK The Australian Galleries, Australia The Art Gallery of South Australia The print was acquired in Kyoto, Japan in the 1950s/60s at The Red Lantern Shop which specialized in authentic and original Japanese prints and art. Would be a great addition to any collectors of Hiroshige's work or fine Japanese prints/ art or eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting.

Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando Hiroshige)

Born in Edo as Tokutaro Ando, Utagawa Hiroshige (also known as Andō Hiroshige) grew up in a minor samurai family. His father belonged to the firefighting force assigned to Edo Castle. It is here that Hiroshige was given his first exposure to art: legend has it that a fellow fireman tutored him in the Kano school of painting, though Hiroshige’s first official teacher was Rinsai.

Though Hiroshige tried to join Utagawa Toyokuni's studio, he was turned away. In 1811, young Hiroshige entered an apprenticeship with the celebrated Utagawa Toyohiro. After only a year, he was bestowed with the artist name Hiroshige. He soon gave up his role in the fire department to focus entirely on painting and print design. During this time he studied painting, intrigued by the Shijo school. Hiroshige’s artistic genius went largely unnoticed until 1832.

In Hiroshige's groundbreaking series of Japanese woodblock prints, The “53 Stations of the Tokaido” (1832–33), he captured the journey along the Tokaido road, the highway connecting Edo to Kyoto, the imperial capital. With the Tokugawa Shogunate relaxing centuries of age-old restrictions on travel, urban populations embraced travel art and Hiroshige became one of the most prominent and successful ukiyo-e artists. He also produced kacho-e (bird-and-flower pictures) to enormous success. In 1858, at the age of 61, he passed away as a result of the Edo cholera epidemic.

Original Hiroshige woodblock prints continue to convey the beauty of Japan and provide insight into the everyday life of its citizens during the Edo period. The appeal of his tender, lyrical landscapes was not restricted to the Japanese audience. Hiroshige’s work had a profound influence on the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists of Europe: Toulouse-Lautrec was fascinated with Hiroshige’s daring diagonal compositions and inventive use of perspective, while Van Gogh literally copied two of Hiroshige's prints from the famous series, “100 Famous Views of Edo” in oil paint.
