Hiroshige II's series 'Souvenirs of Edo (Edo miyage)' (1861)
Introduction
This page attempts to catalog all known prints in
Hiroshige II's
series 'Edo miyage (江戸 美家計 - Souvenirs of Edo)'.
The series title is in the black (negative) rectangular cartouche in the top
right corner; the title of each individual print is in the rectangular
cartouche next to it.
The series dates from the middle of Hiroshige II's career, when he
was about thirty-five years old. At this point, he was
using the name
'Hiroshige', since his master
Hiroshige I
had died (in 1858), and Hiroshige II had taken over the
gō
'Hiroshige'; the prints in this series are signed 'Hiroshige'.
