Utagawa Hiroshige II (1826-1869)
Famous Sights of the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido: Hamamatsu
The Heian Period (794-1185) courtier/ poet Ariwara no Narihira is shown among the pine trees on the beach at Hamamatsu. A meisho print series presents poetic evocations of famous sites in Japan. The poet Narihira was noted for his romantic sensibility; perhaps the turbulent seas are a reflection of turmoil in the heart.
