Today I visited a special exhibition of Hiroshige's woodblock prints at the Norton Simon Museum. The exhibit explained that part of Hiroshige's greatness was his interest in and unique eye for ukiyo-e, or the transitory pleasures of urban life. He is also known for his portrayals of atmosphere - wind, rain, snow. My favorite room focused on his prints of birds.
