 Hiroshige’s Portrayal of the Ideal City
In the prints, then, Hiroshige creates the Edo period to be one in which multiple religious beliefs were embraced, despite that this was not in fact necessarily the case.
However, literature from the Edo period shows that the lower class was far from being as supportive of the harsh distinctions, mainly due to their being further lowered as a result.
While at first glance, Hiroshige’s prints appear to be landscapes simply portraying both the town of Edo and the countryside surrounding it, on closer look, they provide the audience with an upper class perception as to what Edo may have been like, most probably stemming from his own background as a samurai warrior.
