Moon Over Waterfall Hiroshige Japanese Fine Art Card

Moon Over Waterfall, Utagawa Hiroshige 歌川広重, Japanese art, 19th century Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 – October 12, 1858) was a Japanese ukiyoe artist, and one of the last great artists in that tradition. Legend has it that Hiroshige determined to become a ukiyo-e artist when he saw the prints of his near-contemporary, Hokusai. (Hokusai published some of his greatest prints, such as Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji, in 1832—the year Hiroshige devoted himself full-time to his art.) From then to Hokusai's death in 1849, their landscape works competed for the same customers. A waterfall, and behind it the full moon seen through the branches of a tree, its autumn leaves falling.
