Utagawa Hiroshige, “Seba – The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Highway” Hiroshige’s Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kiso Highway is one of the artist’s most celebrated series, and the “Seba” design stands out as a true highlight. Painted during his mature period, it captures the serene beauty of a winter evening: a luminous full moon above the river, reeds swaying in the breeze, and boatmen returning home across the water.
