Hiroshige
1797–1858
"The poet of rain, mist, and the road."
No artist has captured the mood of a place — not its appearance, but its feeling — quite like Hiroshige. His landscapes breathe with weather: the cold bite of a winter shower, the stillness before snow settles. His One Hundred Famous Views of Edo and Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō remain among the most quietly radical works in the history of printmaking.
