Hiroshige (1797 – 1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist during the Edo period. He was inspired by the artist Hokusai, though Hiroshige’s work is considered to be a bit softer and delicate in style. His most famous series is most likely the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833–1834) woodblock prints which document his travels along the Tōkaidō Road. These prints feature elegant scenes of nature. Many of Hiroshige’s works influenced European artists, including Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh, the latter of which actually painted master studies of his works in oils.
