"Meisho Edo Hyakkei" (名所江戸百景), translated as "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," is a renowned series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Produced between 1856 and 1858, this series is celebrated for its vivid and poetic depiction of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) during the late Edo period. Hiroshige, a master of the ukiyo-e genre, is known for his landscape prints, and "Meisho Edo Hyakkei" stands as one of his most significant and influential works.

The series comprises 118 prints, each capturing a different scene from Edo, showcasing the city's natural beauty, bustling urban life, and seasonal changes. Hiroshige's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey atmosphere and mood are evident in each print. The series includes famous locations such as Nihonbashi, Asakusa, and the Sumida River, as well as lesser-known but equally picturesque spots. The prints are characterized by their use of vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and innovative perspectives, which were groundbreaking at the time.

"Meisho Edo Hyakkei" not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical document, offering a glimpse into the daily life and landscape of Edo during the mid-19th century. The series was produced during a period of significant social and economic change in Japan, just before the Meiji Restoration, which saw the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the beginning of modernization and Westernization.

Hiroshige's work had a profound influence on Western art, particularly on the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, who admired his use of color and composition. Artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet were inspired by Hiroshige's prints, incorporating elements of his style into their own work.

Today, "Meisho Edo Hyakkei" is regarded as one of the pinnacles of ukiyo-e art and continues to be celebrated for its artistic brilliance and historical significance. The prints are held in high esteem by collectors and are featured in major museums and galleries around the world.
