Hiroshige 36 Views of Mt Fuji 1858

By Cristina Berna and Eric Thomsen

Utagawa Hiroshige's two Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, 1852 and 1858, are both a copy act and in themselves innovative artistic endeavors.

Katsushika Hokusai published his famous series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji in 1830-1832 and it influenced Hiroshige tremendously to do his own series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series 1852, and 1858, which we deal with here.

Hiroshige shifted to the vertical portrait format with novel and interesting results. It is in the same vertical format for landscapes that Hiroshige used in his innovative series Hundred Famous Views of Edo created with Eisen in 1835 - 1842

It is possible to travel to see the same sites today and enjoy the views of Mt Fuji, which are still very important to the Japanese.

Utagawa Hiroshige

Utagawa Hiroshige (in Japanese: 歌川 広重), also called Andō Hiroshige (in Japanese: 安藤 広重;), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. He was born 1797 and died 12 October 1858.

Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such subjects as female beauties; kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and erotica. The term ukiyo-e (浮世絵) translates as "picture[s] of the floating world".

Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō, and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
