One Hundred Famous Views of Edo","description":"\u003cp\u003eUtagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Ukiyo-e, literally meaning “pictures of the floating world,” was a particular art genre that flourished from the 17th to 19th centuries and came to characterize the Western world’s visual idea of Japan. In many ways images of hedonism, ukiyo-e scenes often depicted the bright lights and attractions of Edo (modern-day Tokyo)—beautiful women, actors and wrestlers, city life, and spectacular landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough he captured a range of subjects, Hiroshige was most famous for his landscapes, with a final masterpiece series known as “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” (1856–1858), depicting various scenes of the city through the seasons, from bustling market streets to splendid cherry orchards. This reprint, bound in traditional Japanese fashion, was produced from one of the finest complete sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo. Each of the 120 illustrations is accompanied by a description, allowing the reader to immerse themselves in these beautiful and vibrant views that became paradigms and inspired Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Modernist artists alike, from Vincent van Gogh to James McNeill Whistler.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43236291772568,"sku":"9783836593083","price":1730.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/2157\/2504\/files\/Hiroshige_One_Hundred_Views_Of_Edo_Lonz_Bice.webp?v=1713463093","url":"https:\/\/tienda.b-o-o-n.com\/en\/products\/hiroshige-one-hundred-famous-views-of-edo","provider":"Boon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
