Japanese ukiyo-e wood block print booklet. Featuring 53 stations scene of Tokaido. Original painted by Hiroshige Ando 1797-1858, Japanese. 13 x 19 cm (5.1 x 7.5 inches). Hiroshige was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition, Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The subjects of his work were atypical of the ukiyo-e genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the urban pleasure districts of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868).
