Composed of 119 scenes from mid-19th century Japan, this beautiful oversize book is a landmark in the art world. Hiroshige's work is a touchstone for a vanished period, a constant reference in modern Japanese culture, and a masterwork that has inspired artists all over the globe. This has been reproduced from a superb original set of woodblock prints, each with its own commentary that discusses artistic and cultural significance. Introduction essays by Amy G. Poster and Henry D. Smith II.
