Hiroshige: Visions of Japan

Currently on exhibit at the Norton Simon is an amazing collection of 175 wood block prints by Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858). The various "Visions of Japan" include everyday life scenes, the four seasons, Mount Fuji, as well as, 20 gorgeous bird/flower pieces. He was said to be one of the most celebrated and prolific artists of his time.
 The kacho-ga or flower and bird works really inspired me in planning my next tattoo.
