About Mitsuke The Tenryu River Utagawa Hiroshige Japanese Ukiyoe Woodblock Print Art Painting
Mitsuke, which means "catching sight," was the stage at which travelers coming towards Edo (now Tōkyō) from Kyōto caught their first glimpse of Mt. Fuji. Mitsuke is on the east bank of the Tenryū River, which had to be crossed by ferry in the Edo period (1603-1868). Utagawa Hiroshige, born Andō Hiroshige, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.
