Shizuoka City Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art Ukiyo-e Collection
Shizuoka City Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art Ukiyo-e Collection
Yui-shuku
This is the first museum in Japan to bear the name of the ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, who influenced the art of Van Gogh and Monet. Hiroshige's representative series of works made around 1833, The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido, were a huge hit boosted by the travel boom of the time. The museum holds special exhibitions with a great variety of pieces selected from its collection of nearly 1,400 works, including The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido, and Hiroshige's later masterpieces One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.
