"...this year's coffee table book of choice. A lavishly produced, large-format volume, it reproduces every print in Hiroshige's celebrated documentary cycle, one per page with facing commentary.... A book to curl up with in front of the fire."The Wall Street Journal, New YorkUnited States |

"Its main appeal is its brilliant reproduction of one of the rare complete sets of Hiroshige's original views of Japan's bustling commercial capital, owned by the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo, the city of Edo's modern-day successor. Bound from the first run, it illuminates the subtle, painterly effects that were often lost as individual images were reprinted over and over, with less attentiveness and skill, as many as 15,000 times."The New York Times, New YorkUnited States |

"Schon bald nach der erfolgreichen Erstauflage wurden die populärsten Motive mit teils mehr als 15.000 Abzügen nachgedruckt, Raubkopien und Nachahmungen waren in Umlauf. Solche Nachdrucke minderer Qualität, die als Verpackungsmaterial in den Westen gelangten, veranlassten einige Kritiker allerdings auch dazu, den japanischen Farbholzschnitt als kitschig und oberflächlich zu beurteilen. Derartige Fehlurteile werden beim Durchblättern der prächtigen Ausgabe von Utagawa Hiroshiges Hundert berühmte Ansichten von Edo widerlegt, mit der der TASCHEN-Verlag nun den japanischen Künstler würdigt."Kunst Material, WittenGermany |
