Utagawa Hiroshige was one of the most prominent ukiyo-e artists. He is best known for his series of prints The 53 Stations of the Tokaido (1832–1833). His influence was not limited to Japan. Hiroshige's work influenced Europe's Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, including Van Gogh, who copied two of his prints in oil paint.

This reproduction of Hiroshige's Shijyogawara Yuusuzumi is from the series "Famous Places in Kyoto/Kyoto Meisho No Uchi" displaying figures enjoying a cool meal on the riverside during Summer. The print is silk-screened onto high quality Japanese Washi.
