Hiroshige: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

Henry D. Smith II,Ando Hiroshige
Here's an exceptional volume of 118 woodblock prints meticulously reproduced from a 1st edition set at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Mid-19th Century Todyo is evoked in both landscapes and intimate scenes of city life.

Henry Smith ex-plains the world of Edo in its twilight before the Meiji Restoration and the beginnings of a modern urban society. Each plate is accompanied by detailed commentary on its artistic and cultural interest. Highly recommended.
