Utagawa Hiroshige II (1826-1869) was the successor and pupil of ukiyo-e print-master Hiroshige, inheriting his name after his death in 1858. He married his master's daughter, though they divorced in 1865, after which he began using the name Kisai Rissho. His work is so similar to his master's that most scholars often confuse their prints.
