Nel frattempo, nella vita di Utagawa Hiroshige
Tutta la vita1809–1832
Post: dōshin
1828
He declines to succeed Toyohiro
On the death of his master Toyohiro in 1828, Hiroshige declined an offer to succeed him.
1829–1830
The turn to landscape: “Eight Views of Ōmi”
Until then Hiroshige had worked in the usual ukiyo-e themes: book illustrations, beauties and kabuki actors. It was not until 1829–1830 that he began to produce the landscapes he is known for, such as the series “Eight Views of Ōmi”, and he also made an increasing number of bird and flower prints.
1832
Journey to Kyoto along the Tōkaidō
As a fire warden he was entitled to minor privileges reserved for low-ranking samurai, which is how he secured an invitation to join an official procession to Kyoto and travelled the Tōkaidō route linking the two capitals. He sketched the scenery along the way.
