Set C: Four of Hiroshige's Masterpieces Featuring "Hiroshige Blue" in a Warm Brown Finish Frame

[For a limited time only, until January 20th, 2025]
The warm brown finish frame pairs beautifully with walnut furniture and dark-toned interiors, while also being a popular choice for traditional Japanese-style rooms. In the late Edo period, the imported blue pigment known as Prussian Blue (Bero Ai) captivated the imagination of many artists. In ukiyo-e woodcut prints, it was especially valued for its ability to depict the translucent blues of skies and water. Utagawa Hiroshige, renowned for his fascination with this vibrant blue, masterfully used it to convey the beauty of skies and water in his works. Please enjoy a selection of four iconic Hiroshige prints, allowing you to fully experience the essence of Hiroshige Blue.

Hiroshige was born in 1797, the time when Ukiyo-e was at the height of popularity. He was good at painting since his childhood. At fifteen, through introduction of a certain book dealer, he became a pupil of Utagawa Toyohiro, and was given the artist name Utagawa Hiroshige the following year. The essential characteristic of Hiroshige’s art lies in its poetic atmosphere, which in fact is the characteristic of the Japanese heart. When this lyricism is given free play, there is beautiful music in the picture.
