Dreamscapes by Andō Hiroshige

Dreamscapes by Andō Hiroshige presents all 55 prints of the very first edition of “Fifty-three Stations of the
Tōkaidō,” a series that has been in the MMFA’s collection since 1973 and that was published in 1833-1834
by Hoeidō and Senkakudō publishing houses. The exhibition looks at the talent of Hiroshige and his
publishing team in creating an idyllic world everybody wanted to inhabit. It also examines the factors that
led to the astronomical commercial success of these prints, which popularized the landscape print and
fuelled the emergence of Japonisme in Europe.

The exhibition will be on display at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts until September 8, 2024.
