Sull’opera
Con le parole del museo — in olandese
Gezicht op een herberg aan een rivier waarover een brug; bergen tegen een blauwe lucht op de achtergrond. Tonosawa is van oudsher een plek die wordt bezocht vanwege de vele heet water bronnen (onsen).

Nella vita di Utagawa Hiroshige
Tutta la vita1856
He becomes a Buddhist monk
In 1856 Hiroshige “retired from the world”, becoming a Buddhist monk; this was the year he began his “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo”.
1856
Luxury editions with the publisher Uoya Eikichi
Working with the publisher Uoya Eikichi, Hiroshige created a series of luxury edition prints using the finest printing techniques: true gradation of color, mica for an iridescent effect, embossing, fabric printing, blind printing and glue printing.
1856–1858
One Hundred Views of Edo: a priest pays up front
His great “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” was paid for up front by a wealthy Buddhist priest in love with the daughter of the publisher Uoya Eikichi, a former fishmonger. Hiroshige was usually poorly paid per series, yet he remained capable of remarkable art when the conditions were right.
