Hiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
Hiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo: "
In the mid 19th Century the great Japanese print maker Utagawa Hiroshige (also known as Ando Hiroshige) created his most well known and influential series of prints, titled One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.
These are considered to be among the greatest works in Japanese art.
The Brooklyn Museum, which has a complete set in its collection, has made images of the prints available on its website.
Hiroshige’s views of the city, known as modern day Tokyo, show the city and its environs in the four seasons. You can view them organized that way, browse by keyword, or browse them all in a single page of thumbnails.
The larger images also have a magnifier feature, that you may find useful (better than some, though a larger full image would still be much preferred). The regular images are large enough, however, to be enjoyed on their own.
