"Views of Edo" is a series of woodblock prints created by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige, who was active during the Edo period. This series, also known as "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," consists of 118 landscape prints that were produced between 1856 and 1858. The series depicts a variety of scenes from the bustling city of Edo, which is present-day Tokyo, capturing the urban culture, seasonal changes, and celebrated landmarks with a remarkable attention to detail and atmospheric perspective.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of color and composition, which brought a new level of emotional depth and natural beauty to the genre of landscape prints. "Views of Edo" is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and a pinnacle of ukiyo-e landscape art. The series was created towards the end of Hiroshige's life and reflects his mature style, which had evolved to include more poetic and evocative scenes compared to his earlier works.

Each print in the series is a unique portrayal of Edo's streets, rivers, festivals, and famous sites, such as the Sumida River, the Nihonbashi bridge, and the Yoshiwara pleasure district. The prints also feature a variety of weather conditions and times of day, showcasing Hiroshige's skill in depicting the transient moods of nature. The series had a significant influence on Western artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly on the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, as it was among the Japanese artworks that were exported to Europe following the opening of Japan to international trade.

"Views of Edo" remains a valuable historical record of Edo before it transformed into the modern metropolis of Tokyo, as well as an enduring example of Hiroshige's artistic legacy. The series continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its ability to transport viewers to a bygone era through its vivid and poetic portrayal of city life and landscapes.
