This luxurious book, carefully crafted, allows you to observe up close an exceptional set of prints by the artist and to visit through images and imagination the Japanese world of the first half of the 19th century, in the footsteps of Hiroshige.

The work of Hiroshige in a luxurious, large-format book revealing all the poetry of the illustrations.

An exceptional collection of works are represented in constant dialogue with a lively and documented text that will notably reveal Hiroshige's journals, his talent for humorous poems, his taste for travel, with its pleasures and inconveniences, for encounters, and his love of the landscape which he testifies to until his last poem, which evokes his departure for the sunset, the land of the dead.

The author Henri-Alexis Baatsch is a writer, playwright and translator.
