Overview of The Life and Work of Hiroshige
Ando Hiroshige was born under the name of Ando Tokutaro. He was born in Edo (Tokyo) as the son of a samurai and fireman. At the age of twelve, both his parents died. Two years later, in 1811, the young Hiroshige received a chance to join the famous Utagawa painting school. At that time, the ukiyo-e master Toyohiro Utagawa was the head of the studio. In 1812 he was formally allowed to take the name Utagawa. From then on he called himself Utagawa Hiroshige. In the ukiyo-e literature he is usually referenced as Hiroshige Ando.

A YouTube video about Hiroshige
Japanese painter - Utagawa Hiroshige 日本浮世繪畫家歌川廣重(安籐廣重)畫選
The works of Hiroshige have the kind of artistry and lyricism in nature. I enjoy very much in these paintings, and hope I can get some inspriation. The background music of this video is also worthy to recommend here. I think it is nicely blended together in unity with Hiroshige's magnificent works in this video. Glad to share it with you. 安籐廣重的畫風秀逸, 帶一種和式的優雅. 但這種雅致 並不屬於當代的, 而是屬於那個久遠的年代, 19世紀的江戶. 在畫中, 我們看到日本當時平凡的庶民 生活情景, 四時風貌, 服飾打扮, 髮式造型和建築 形式. 那個年代沒有電視, 沒有電腦, 沒有照相機, 沒有you tube, 幸運的是, 我們至今仍能依循著 廣重留下的畫作觀想過去... 另外, 這個video使用的背景音樂為[春之海]. 據 說是日本邦樂作曲家宮城道雄在瀨戶內海泛舟 時的即興作品. 此曲音樂的層次分明, 在高低起伏, 上下 轉承之間, 彷彿可令人感受的自然裡四季更迭的氣 息. 時而大雨滂沱, 時而急風惡浪, 時而春光明媚, 時而浩雪紛飛, 非常的聞音見景. 個人認為跟廣重畫作 裡的意境非常匹配. 最後必須一提, 如果沒有借用佚名的廣重博物館的 圖片相輔, 這個短片一定會較為失色. 我製作這個video的用意, 一是留下名師的記錄, 二是分享和文化交流. 獨樂樂不如眾樂樂, 大概就是這個意思. 謝謝觀賞. Hiroshige (1797-1858), Japanese painter and printmaker, known especially for his landscape prints. 歌川廣重是江戶時代後期的浮世繪畫家 和風景版畫大師.

- Making a Mark: The influence of Japanese Art
- There's something about Japanese Art which draws me in. I'm not sure quite what it is however I'm very sure that learning more about it will help me with the development of my own drawings and artwork. It had a significant impact on the artists who I studied last year so I feel that being open to its influence can only be beneficial.

- Making a Mark: The elements of ukiyo-e
- This post aims to provide an overview of the different elements of design used in a Japanese wood block print - ukiyo-e. For an explanation of the elements of design see this post - Composition - The Elements of Design
- Making a Mark: Principles of design and composition and ukiyo-e
- In my reading, I'm finding a lot of space devoted to narrating biography and history and describing images but very little which actually discusses images in terms of pictorial form and construction. the only book which has a detailed discussion is the Japonisme book which has a hefty section. However skim reading convinced me that the various devices highlighted and discussed almost need a post each.
I'm also trying to relate a Japanese way of making pictures to western concepts of what's important in terms of Principles of Design (as discussed in the last project) Again this is more about me finding a way to understand what's going on initially rather than saying the western way of looking at things is best. As we'll see as this project progresses, there's an awful lot of western art which adopted conventions which originated in the East.
