Biography: Ando Hiroshige, also known as Utagawa Hiroshige, was born in 1797 as Ando Tokutaro in a barracks attached to Edo Castle, in present-day Tokyo, Japan, as the son of a hereditary retainer of the Shogun. He died at the age of 62 in 1858. Hiroshige inherited his father's position, as a fire warden charged with protecting Edo Castle from fire, a position that was largely ceremonial in nature. He continued to live in the barracks until he was 43. Hiroshige was tutored as a youth in the Kano school of painting, and then apprenticed at the age of 15 under Utagawa Toyohiro in 1811. In 1832, he was invited to become a member of a Shogunal embassy to the Emperor's court in Kyoto, which led to the production of Hiroshige's most famous series of works, The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido Road (the Tokaido Road linked Edo, where the Shogun resided, with Kyoto, where the Emperor resided). Hiroshige's Ukiyo-e style was significantly influenced by his older contemporary, Katsushika Hokusai. In 1856, Hiroshige retired from the world to become a Buddhist monk, and died two years later.
