Utagawa Hiroshige, born at the end of the 18th century in old Edo (today's Tokyo), grew up in modest circumstances as the son of a fireman and lowly samurai. Orphaned at a young age, he inherited his father's office at the age of 13 and from then on had to protect the city's palace grounds from fires. His work yielded only a modest wage, but left him enough time to further his artistic education. Soon after, he became a student of the Utagawa school of woodblock printmakers and learned the ancient art of Japanese woodblock printing (ukiyo-e). A few years later he finished his training and received the artist's name Hiroshige, which was traditionally supplemented by the school name. The star of the young Utagawa Hiroshige to one of the greatest artists of Japan could rise!
His career settled into a leisurely pace at first until, now 35 years old, he embarked on a journey that would inspire his most famous early works. Commissioned by the Shōgun to ferry horses to the imperial court, he followed the Tōkaidō route along the coastline from Edo to the ancient imperial city of Kyōto, one of the most important trade routes of the day. Along the stops on his journey, he met farmers, merchants, and religious pilgrims, and made numerous sketches of his journey full of inspiration. When he finally returned to Edo, he created a series of prints for landscape paintings, the "53 Stations of the Tōkaidō." These show travelers, porters, and ferrymen along the Tōkai Road against the background of typical Japanese landscapes such as river courses, lakes or sea bays, fields, or mountain ranges, as well as quiet village street scenes and stops at rest houses and temples. It is also striking that these travel pictures do not reflect a uniform season, but combine in artistic freedom changing seasonal impressions with different light and weather moods, sun and rain, fog or snow.
His detailed drawings were finally engraved in wooden plates, in order to coat these printing blocks with suitable colors and thus allow the reproduction of the images. Even outside Japan, the woodblock prints produced in this way quickly became sought-after collector's items and inspired, above all, Impressionist and Expressionist artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet to create Japanese-inspired works of so-called Japonism. Towards the end of his life, only a few years before his death, Hiroshige created the drawings for another series, the "100 Famous Views of Edo", which as a mature work of old age became the culmination of his artistic work and his greatest legacy. They reflect the entire diversity of Japanese culture, with views of Mount Fuji, cultivated landscapes, blossoming cherry trees, shrines and ancient temple gardens being essential motifs. After creating a body of work of over 8000 paintings, Hiroshige finally retired from the world and concluded his days as a Buddhist monk at the age of 62.
