Hiroshige Magnet Set

This Hiroshige set of four 2" x 3" magnets feature some of the most famous works by this great Japanese painter and printmaker. Ando Hiroshige is widely regarded as one of the six great masters of the Ukiyo-e school. Having studied with the esteemed Utagawa painting school, Ando Hiroshige was formally given the name of Utagawa Hiroshige. His first notable series of landscape prints, the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, were sketched while he travelled the breadth of the Tokaido Road between Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and Kyoto, though his most famous series was his One Hundred Views of Edo. So regarded were Hiroshige's work that they spread beyond the shores of Japan, influencing many European painters such as Van Gogh, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Monet. UPC: 693090288603
