To keep in mind
Hiroshige is a pioneer of ukiyo-e, renowned for his poetic landscapes and his influence on Western art, particularly impressionism. He made his mark on Japanese art with works such as The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō, helping to popularize Japanese prints outside of Japan after its reopening to global trade. His works are known for their skilled use of vibrant colors, particularly blues and greens, as well as their composition with distinct planes.
