Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 – October 12, 1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, and one of the last great artists in that tradition. He was also referred to as Andō Hiroshige, and by the art name of Ichiyusai Hiroshige. Among many masterpieces, Hiroshige is particularly remembered for 'The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido' (1834–1842) and 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' (1852–1858). Hiroshige's 'Maiko Beach' is generally credited with having helped to inspire Vincent Van Gogh's 'Olive Orchard' (1889)
