The contrast of the albizia julibrissin in the close-range view and Kanegafuchi in the distant view. We can see the attractive characteristic of Hiroshige's landscape work from them.
The hit series of Ukiyo-e "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo", published from 1856-1859, including several of the Ukiyo-e masterpieces by Hiroshige. Hiroshige began this project at the age of sixty, and in it, captured many charming scenes of the Edo era through very original, vertically-arranged compositions. Though he intended to create only 100 works, in the beginning, the overwhelming popularity of this series led the artist to produce a total of 118 prints over 3 years.
