Review: An insane value for Hiroshige lovers ~ - I bought it new when the price dropped to $7.09 from desertcart.com with prime shipping. I have another very nice Hiroshige book Hiroshige: Prints and Drawings that includes some very nice prints and a good bio, but I figured why not? And boy was I surprised. This book contains around 95 pages, and though most of the prints are not large, there are a lot of them. Several of the prints are thumbnail sized, others are half page to nearly full page. But this is not truly a 'picture book'. Where this version excels is in the writing. The author does a great job of highlighting the life and work of Hiroshige AND other Ukiyo-E artists of the era. It's truly the comparisons that make this work shine. We are shown, in a later chapter, influences he made on other artists, such as Manet and Van Gogh. These comparisons are not stating "these guys copied Hiroshige" but instead point out some artistic similarities, some resulting in artists like Manet being called 'Japonistic' or the flatter, more 2-d style being labeled 'Japonism'. There are still a good number of his prints in this book, and several from prominent museums that do not appear in other collections. The vast majority of the prints highlighted show people doing something. Which is different than the Prestel book which shows a lot of landscapes or far away images of Edo where you don't really get up close and personal with the people in some of these prints. There are also a number of prints with birds and fish. Again, most are not large, but there is a nice selection included. I would say this is a good book to start with if you are interested in Ukiyo-e. If you are a fan of Hiroshige, then you will surely enjoy it as an addition to your Ukiyo-e library. This is a real treat and a great value.
Review: Ukiyo-e by Hiroshige is a beautiful book - Beautiful book! I love it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ukiyo-e by Hiroshige is a beautiful book
*by K***R on June 2, 2025*

Beautiful book! I love it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great things come in small packages.
*by A***R on July 24, 2024*

This book is a typical example of a great TASCHEN book release. The artist featured was a superb artisan, and this is proven by the wide diaspora that Hiroshige had a chance to see, and his wood block prints are a wonderful testament to that fact. I highly recommend this work to anyone with an interest in the Japan of the past; this book will feed the fires of your imagination.
