# Hiroshige

> He turned ukiyo-e away from courtesans and kabuki actors toward something quieter: rain on a bridge, snow settling over a pine grove, the stations of a long road. His landscapes closed an era.

## Bio

Born Andō Tokutarō in 1797, Hiroshige entered a printmaking tradition dominated by urban pleasure scenes—beautiful women, popular actors—but followed Hokusai's lead toward landscape, trading boldness for something more poetic and ambient. His horizontal series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and his vertical One Hundred Famous Views of Edo built their power on subtle color: multiple impressions in a single area, painstaking bokashi gradations, labor that made weather feel alive on paper. He died on 12 October 1858, and scholars mark that date as the beginning of ukiyo-e's fast decline amid the westernization that followed the Meiji Restoration. By the century's end his prints had crossed into Europe—Manet and Monet collected them, Van Gogh painted copies—and fed the Japonism that reshaped western painting.
