Full description
From the Tendro Hiroshige’s produced for the the Diamyo of Tendro. Done in the Shogun’s preferred style, you can see the liberties that Hiroshige was making by breaking with the traditional flat Confucius form of composition. These were the first examples of his that you really can begin to see the perspective that a camera produces. Meaning that when you look towards the bottom of the frame, when you look at the middle you are looking flat at the world, and when you look to the top you are looking up at the subject matter.
