Utagawa Hiroshige Japanese
Not on view
Formulaic, yet still punctuated by surprising points of view, Hiroshige's lighthearted survey of Edo's famous gastronomic sites includes a punning couplet about each place in the fan-shaped cartouches at the upper right. The eclectic mix of Edo denizens that appears in this series is delightful.
