"Antique Woodblock Print: Hiroshige" refers to the body of work by Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige (1797–1858), a celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his landscape prints. Hiroshige was a prominent figure in the final phase of the ukiyo-e tradition, a genre of Japanese art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries, which depicted the "floating world" of ephemeral pleasures and fleeting beauty in urban Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and other parts of Japan.

Hiroshige's work is distinguished by its focus on the beauty of natural landscapes and the integration of humans and nature, often showcasing seasonal conditions, weather, and times of day with a remarkable sense of mood and atmosphere. His prints are characterized by their use of color, innovative composition, and perspective, which influenced not only the development of Japanese art but also left a significant impact on Western art, particularly on the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements.

Among Hiroshige's most famous series are "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts the scenic views along the Tōkaidō road, the main route between Edo and Kyoto; "The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō," a collaboration with another ukiyo-e master, Keisai Eisen, showcasing the stations of the Nakasendō route; and "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," a collection of prints that captures the diverse landscapes and urban scenes of Edo. These series, along with his numerous other works, have cemented Hiroshige's legacy as one of the greatest masters of the woodblock print and a pivotal figure in the history of Japanese art.

Hiroshige's prints continue to be celebrated for their artistic and historical significance, offering insights into the culture, travel, and daily life of Japan during the Edo period. His work has been preserved in numerous collections worldwide and remains highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts, illustrating the enduring appeal and relevance of his artistic vision.
