The Woodblock Prints of Utagawa Hiroshige
Watanabe: Catalogue of the Memorial Exhibition
NIKUHITSU (Autograph Paintings).
It was towards his closing years or from the beginning of the Kayei
era (1848-'53) that Hiroshige began to try brush paintings. Excepting
No. 285, which was produced in the middle of the Tempō era, all the pictures
displayed in the exhibition were painted in those days. From about the
period of Kayei onwards, Hiroshige signed his productions as simply
(Ryūsai) or
(Ryūsai-Hiroshige) instead of
(Ichiryūsai-Hiroshige). The kakemono is a
picture mounted for hanging on the wall of tokonoma or alcove. It is kept in the form of a roll.
