(right-click as needed)
Some of Hiroshige's most popular prints were produced in the tens of thousands at a low individual cost and due to the opening up of Japan after 1853 were popular both in Japan and Europe where they had a huge influence on the future Impressionist artists. --WP
Oh my god I can't believe i never put 2 and 2 together lol.
Also, I *seem* to recall that there were some other very similar views like this by other Japanese print-makers. Part of a series, or tribute series, maybe.
Not sure if it was actually Hiroshige's piece that kicked that off, or whether it was inspired by an earlier scene...
Yes that I remember too. Why do I feel like I made a post about it too lol. Will have to check. Can't remember off the top of my head
You feel how miserable those people are! Such a human experience to have the weather turn on you and silently curse it under your breath…
Sorry I accidentally dv'd while scrolling. Corrected!
