His work appealed to every stratum of society. While some of his landscape prints, such as \u003ci\u003eEvening Snow-Kanbara\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eŌhashi-Evening Rain\u003c\/i\u003e, are well-known examples of Japanese art, the full range of his output is less familiar. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHiroshige came from a samurai family, but he crossed social boundaries and devoted himself to depicting popular customs and the world around him. His work is distinguished by an air of gentle grace and decorum, perhaps arising partly from his steady temperament. His calm artistic vision sustained his contemporaries through the uncertainties of daily life and changing times. A great colorist, he stands out for discovering a subtle lyricism in the experience of travel and a bond between people and the natural world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing highlights from leading private collections of Hiroshige prints alongside works by Hiroshige and other artists from the British Museum's outstanding collection of Japanese art and from other major collections, this lavishly illustrated new publication celebrates one of the world's most accomplished artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlfred Haft\u003c\/b\u003e is JTI Project Curator for the Japanese Collections and curator of the exhibition \u003ci\u003eHiroshige: Artist of the Open Road\u003c\/i\u003e at the British Museum.
