Utagawa Hiroshige (1797, Kansei 9 - October 12,1858, the sixth day of the ninth month of Ansei 5) was an ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period.

His original name was Ando Juemon, and his childhood name was Tokutaro. He was also known as Juemon, Tetsuzo, or Tokubei.

Born into the Ando family, which was responsible for standing firefighting duties in Edo, he inherited the family position before becoming an ukiyo-e artist.

His landscape woodblock prints enjoyed widespread popularity and influenced Western painters, including Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet.
