“Fujisawa Ukiyo-e Museum 10th Anniversary Special Exhibition
Mastery in Landscapes: Kanagawa Through Hiroshige’s Touch”
Exhibition Contents
Utagawa Hiroshige gained immense popularity as a leading landscape artist after the publication of the series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (Hōeido Edition). His landscapes of various regions across Japan express rich sceneries while skillfully depicting changes in seasons, time, and lifestyles of everyday people. This exhibition presents a special collection of Hiroshige’s landscape prints and paintings that illustrate places in present-day Kanagawa Prefecture such as Enoshima, Mt. Ōyama, and Hakone.
