Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was a renowned Japanese artist who lived during a period of significant societal change in Japan. Born on the cusp of the Meiji Restoration, Hiroshige’s art captured the essence of 19th-century Japan with its vibrant colors and intricate woodblock prints. His works depicted a wide range of subjects, from everyday life scenes to iconic landscapes like Mt. Fuji.

The recent exhibition, “Hiroshige: artist of the open road,” at The British Museum showcased the artist’s diverse body of work. From cherry blossoms in Edo to pleasure boats in Ryōgoku, Hiroshige’s prints offered a glimpse into the cultural and natural beauty of Japan during his time. The exhibition featured pieces from collections such as “100 Famous Views of Edo” and “The 69 Stations of the Kiso Highway,” highlighting the artist’s talent for capturing the essence of different regions in Japan.

Hiroshige’s art resonated with people of all social classes as Japan navigated its changing relationship with the outside world. His calm and reassuring artistic vision provided a sense of continuity in a time of upheaval. The exhibition at The British Museum marked the artist’s first solo show at the institution and the first in London in over 25 years, showcasing the enduring appeal of Hiroshige’s work.

“Hiroshige: artist of the open road” offered visitors a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of Japan through the eyes of a master artist. The exhibition ran until September 7 in London, inviting art enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of 19th-century Japan.
