More DescriptionThis is a handbook for the beautiful ukiyo-e of "Famous One Hundred Views of Edo" createed by Utagawa-Hiroshige (1797-1858) and includes general information for each art-work. Previously, he'd been known as Ando-Hiroshige (a mixture of his family name "Ando" and his pen name of "Hiroshige").

I really hope readers have a chance to question and to discover the hidden messages not yet revealed so that you may enjoy a new discovery of the 150 year old messages and humor and the journalistic eye of Hiroshige.
