Hiroshige: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo book

Taschen presents this reprint of Utagawa Hiroshige's views of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) in a stunning volume that celebrates one of the last great artists in the 'ukiyo-e' tradition. Authored by Lorenz Bichler and Melanie Trede, this book showcases the artist's famous landscapes alongside depictions of beautiful women, actors and wrestlers in the woodblock tradition of 'ukiyo-e', which literally translates to 'pictures of the floating world'. Bustling shopping streets and city lights blend with blooming cherry trees for a dynamic view on Japan that played a huge role in the West's impression of the country at the time.
