“One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” by the Master Landscape Artist Utagawa Hiroshige was master work made in theartist’s last years and is noted for the frequent use of extremely enlarged foreground objects to create depth. Publishedin succession from 1856, 100 pieces were planned just as the title suggests. But it proved so popular that all 100 weremade within a year of it first being released so more were published afterwards. There are 118 pieces in existence whichbears Hiroshige’s name and is the largest number of works made by a single artist in a Ukiyo-e series. In total there are
120 works including the piece “Paulownia Trees at Akasaka in the Evening Rain” by Utagawa Hiroshige II and the tableof contents designed by Baisotei Gengyo.
