Hiroshige - A 200th Anniversary Tribute on Stamps

From the original Art on Stamps archive

With Hokusai, Hiroshige dominated the popular art of Japan in the first half of the 19th century. His work was not as bold or innovative as that of the older master, but he captured, in a poetic, gentle way that all could understand, the ordinary person's experience of the Japanese landscape as well as the varied moods of memorable places at different times. His total output was immense, some 5,400 prints in all. Source: Microsoft Encarta 1996.
