Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 –1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, known for his Fifty-three Stations of the T?kaid? and for his landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The name Hiroshige was passed to his son-in-law (Hiroshige II) from 1858 until his divorce in 1865, who drew in a style based on that of Hiroshige.
