- The 1st UTAGAWA Hiroshige［Profile］He was born as a child of Samurai   family, but he lost his parents at the age of 13. When he was 15 years   old, he entered the atelier of an Ukiyoe artist, UTAGAWA Toyohiro. In   autumn at the age of 36, he went to Edo with the party to make   Tokugawa Shogunate a present of a horse, so he made a round trip on   the Tokaido (Edo-Kyoto highway in Edo period). The works based on   this experience were 55 pictures of "The fifty-three stations of the   Tokaido" in Hoeido edition. By grace of the explosive sales of this   series, Hiroshige got a permanent place in Ukiyo-e world. Hiroshige   became a mega-selling artist of Ukiyo-e, and produced many   masterpieces. Especially, there were many works drawn Edo, so it is   said that the total amount reached 1,300 works. "100 famous views of   Edo" is said to be the last masterpiece of Hiroshige, and it was started   to publish from 1856 and was ended up with unfinished in his last 2   years. After the death of 1st Hiroshige, it was completed by making up   for deficiencies in his works by 2nd Hiroshige and was attached the   index "Ichiritsusai Hiroshige Isseiichidai Edo Hyakkei (100 views of Edo   of Ichiritsusai Hiroshige's life)". The previous Ukiyo-e prints had a   method to represent a sense of perspective by outlines with Boku-sen   (Line in black ink), but Hiroshige represented a sense of perspective by   the gradation that he reduced Boku-sen dramatically and used many   different color blocks. This representation method, that had not existed   in the traditional Ukiyo-e prints, was produced for the first time by the   close cooperation between Hiroshige who well knew the techniques of   Woodblock prints, Wood-carvers and Printers. And, it was passed down   the generation for a long time as a masterpiece.
- The original pictures for the reprint of this time are total 120 pictures   from "100 famous views of Edo" that belongs in a Edo-Tokyo Museum.   It is said to be the first printing set, usually it can be printed about 100   sheets for the first time, and it is very good state of preservation. So it   has become a very valuable document. For the reprint, it is necessary   more precise check against the originals, for example, color-coding for   the carving work, color matching several times after finishing the test   printing, etc..., but this difficult reprint project was achieved by the full ge is a monumental work of Ukiyo-e prints renowned in the world as   well as Japan.
