Subreddit for 19th century Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige.

There were in fact 3 Hiroshiges. The name Hiroshige was an inherited title.

The list:

The original Hiroshige (歌川広重) (1797–1858). Born Ando Hiroshige.
Hiroshige II (歌川広重 2代目) (1829–1869). His art was so similar to his masters, the original Hiroshige, that scholars often confuse them.
Hiroshige III (歌川広重 3代目) (1842 or 1843 – 1894). Hiroshige III worked in the same artistic style as his master, but did not achieve anywhere near the same level of success.
