Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) is, along with Hokusai, probably the last great name in ukiyo-e, and in particular in landscape prints, which reached unparalleled heights with him. He produced a large number of prints intended to be mounted in fans; they are particularly fragile and are among the rarest of the artist's prints. Produced in a small number of copies and intended to decorate an everyday accessory made of bamboo, these sublime engravings circulated in restricted circles of intellectuals or cultural elites.
Exhibition at the musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet from 15 February to 15 May 2023.
