Travelers cross the red-railed Sanjō Bridge into Kyoto

Travelers in blue and white robes cross the long red-railed Sanjō Bridge on wooden pilings, some carrying packs and open umbrellas. Rooftops of Kyoto's riverside district line the far bank below dark green mountains touched with red at their peaks, under a pale orange sky. A title cartouche sits at upper centre, with the artist's signature and seals at upper left. Final station of the Tōkaidō, from Hiroshige's Hōeidō-edition design.

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was the last great master of the ukiyo-e landscape print. Born into a family of fire wardens in Edo, he turned to printmaking under Utagawa Toyohiro and found his subject in the roads and seasons of Japan — above all in the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833–34) and the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–58). His snow, rain and evening skies, and his bold near-and-far compositions, were studied closely by Van Gogh, Whistler and Monet. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
