"From Famous Places In Edo" is a renowned series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the esteemed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Born in 1797, Hiroshige is celebrated for his masterful landscapes and his ability to capture the transient beauty of nature and urban life in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). This particular series is a testament to his skill and his deep appreciation for the scenic and cultural landmarks of Edo during the late Edo period.

The series, which is also known as "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo Hyakkei), was produced between 1856 and 1858. It comprises 119 prints, each depicting a different location within the city, showcasing Hiroshige's innovative use of perspective, vibrant color palettes, and intricate details. The prints offer a vivid portrayal of Edo's bustling streets, serene gardens, majestic temples, and seasonal changes, providing a comprehensive visual record of the city’s landscape and daily life in the mid-19th century.

Hiroshige's work in this series is particularly noted for its atmospheric effects and the way it captures the mood and essence of each location. His use of bokashi (gradation of color) and his ability to convey weather conditions and times of day are hallmarks of his style. The series not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as a historical document, offering insights into the urban development, cultural practices, and natural environment of Edo.

"From Famous Places In Edo" has had a lasting impact on both Japanese and Western art. It influenced the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements in Europe, with artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet drawing inspiration from Hiroshige's compositions and techniques. Today, the series remains a celebrated example of ukiyo-e art and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
