Hiroshige II, Utagawa and Utagawa Kunisada,
Utagawa Hiroshige II (also called Ichiryusai Shigenobu), (1829–1869)
Utagawa Kunisada (also called Gototei Kunisada; Toyokuni III; Ichiyusai Kunisada), (1786–1864)
User Text 1 This series was a collaborative effort between Hiroshige II and Kunisada that followed the success of the 1853 series Elegant Prince Genji. In this print, Kunisada designed the large two figures in the left panel while Hiroshige II designed the landscape in the middle panel. Prominent figures frolic in the snow in the middle ground of the left panel. The details of the elaborate garden scene includes a pond, stone lantern, and a miniature Mt. Fuji—the latter was created during the Edo period so that the elderly could symbolically climb the sacred mountain.
