Ando Hiroshige by Adele Schlombs

Utagawa Hiroshige was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition which refers to the famous Japanese woodblock print genre that originated in 17th century. His greatest talent was in creating landscapes of his native Edo (Tokyo). This book provides an introduction to his work and an overview of his career.
Adele Schlombs studied sinology, East Asian art history, European art history and comparative religious studies at Cologne and Heidelberg Universities. From 1984 to 1987 she studied at Kyoto University and finished her dissertation in 1989 at Heidelberg University with Prof. Lothar Ledderose. In 1991, she took over the directorship of the Museum of East Asian Art in Cologne and since then has organized numerous loan exhibitions of Japanese and Chinese art.
