Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) also sometimes referred to as "Andō Hiroshige" was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, and one of the last great artists in that tradition. He was known especially for his landscape prints and transmuted everyday landscapes into intimate, lyrical scenes that made him even more successful than his contemporary, Hokusai.
He is noted for using unusual vantage points, seasonal allusions, and striking colors. He adapted Western principles of perspective.
This is one of the series of "GojyuSan Tsugi Meisho Zue" (The series of The Fifty-three Famous Places of Tokaido; a set of fifty five pieces) which were created when Hiroshige was 59 years old. In this series, Tate-e style (the way of a paper use for oblong) is used and the style is also called "Tate-e Tokaido".
At the red cartouche to the upper right, the series title and the number of the series "33" are given. At the yellow cartouche to the next to it, the title of this work "Shirasuka Shiomizaka fukei" which are the name of this depicted landscapes is shown.
Shirasuka was originally a village spread out around "Shiroi Sasu" (white sandbank) and, after the big tsunami former lodging area moved up to the plateau called Shiomizaka.
