<< Hiroshige (Utagawa Hiroshige) lived in the 19th century, the end of the classical period of ukiyo-e, the art of woodblock-printed “pictures of the floating world.” In that time he became one of the form’s last masters, having cultivated not just a high level of artistic skill but a formidable productivity. In total, Hiroshige produced more than 8,000 works. >>️

<< But his mastery encompassed more than the urban and rural landscapes of his homeland, as evidenced by this much humbler project: a set of omocha-e, or instructional pictures for children, explaining how to make shadow puppets. >>️
