Artist Signature: Hiroshige ga Original Series: Edo meishô zue: Views of Famous Places in Edo A well executed, superb, miniature copy of Utagawa Hiroshige II's Ochanomizu, originally published in 1861. Utagawa Hiroshige II (1829 – 17 September 1869) continued the work of the great ukiyo-e master Ando Hiroshige and created several series of landscape prints many of which are almost indistinguishable in style from Hiroshige I. Born Chinpei Suzuki, he was adopted by Hiroshige I in 1845 after the death of Hiroshige's own son. Under Hirshioge I, he was given the name Shigenobu. He later inherited the name Hiroshige II after the death of his master in 1858. After the master's death, he married Otatsu, an adopted daughter of Hiroshige I. In about 1865 the marriage was dissolved and he retired to Yokohama and reverted to the name Shigenobu and also used the name Kisai Rissho. |
