Ando Hiroshige II

(1843 - 1894)

Japanese

Hiroshige II was a Ukiyo-e printmaker who worked under the name Shigenobu until the death of Ando Hiroshige in 1858. Upon the death of the master, who took him in as both a pupil and adopted son, he married Hiroshige's daughter and took the name "Hiroshige" (II). It is generally accepted that he completed works in progress from his master's studio, with fine designs being published through the early 1860's. About 1865, his marriage was dissolved and he retired to Yokohama, reverting to the name of Shigenobu, where he painted pictures on tea boxes and lanterns intended for export.
