I visited Monet's house and was astonished at his collection of Japanese prints. Certainly Van Gogh was another impressionist hugely influenced by ukiyo-e

Oh my giddy aunt, such beautiful scenes and the colours are incredible, even a turtle on a rope watching the sun set is spellbinding, I'm a fan of Hokusai and I have copied a few of his for my own walls and now I must have a Hiroshige to join them, he is an incredible artist, I've seen rain depicted before but he is able to accurately depict a monsoon, there is so much life and colour packed into these pictures, this is gonna be an obsession for a short while I think, you have made an awesome vid and I'm very grateful thank you, just one thing the music made me think of the romantic parts of seventies detective shows ie; KOJAK, Starsky and Hutch, you get the drift, many thanks for introducing this artist to me x

Amazing to see so many of his prints. The video spoke as if they were paintings. The colours in each print were ‘painted’ onto the flat face of a wooden block that had all the light colours carved out into recesses; then the rice paper was laid on top and carefully pressed onto the block to soak up the colours. My question is, Did Hiroshige paint an original on paper as a guide for the printers to know how to colour the wood block? And, if so, are any of these in existence?

There were no acrylics in the days Van Goh made his paintings. There were watercolours, oils, poster colours (cheap water colours) tempura, gouache, crayons, pastels, coloured pencils and a kind of dab-on paint using a kind of tree gum dissolved in an organic solvent and powdered pigments that never quite caught on. But no acrylics.

That was the case after his death, however during his career he gave very specific instructions along with the reference work. Ukiyo-e was definitely for the masses, which is probably why it became so influential and found it's way to Europe. You can actually buy Hiroshige prints from his lifetime for a relatively reasonable price because they were mass produced.
