Comments by Sebastian Izzard, Ph.D., accompany each image, not only providing insight into their subject matter, but also discussing their survival during the dramatic social shifts and economic hardship of Hiroshige and Eisen''s time. This book tells the story of a landmark, two immortal artists, and an enduring masterpiece.
