Hiroshige Utagawa was one of the most famous Japanese Ukiyo-e artists. He was born in 1797 and died in 1858. He is best known for his beautiful landscape series, “53 Stations of the Tokaido”. Tokaido is the main road from Tokyo to Kyoto. The popular Ukiyo-e series, “36 Views of Mt. Fuji”, painted by Hokusai Katsushika, gave strong influence on Hiroshige's works. Hiratsuka is the 8th station of Tokaido. In this picture, one of the travelers is a professional courier runner who carries mails.

The Ukiyo-e RE:generation Project is aimed at regenerating the traditional Japanese great works by leading-edge AI technology. Ukiyo-e is one of the Japanese painting genres which were popularized and flourished in the Edo Period. Ukiyo-e was mostly made from woodblock prints, which were easy to publish many copies then. Ukiyo-e described the daily life of common people, portraits of Kabuki actors, beautiful women, and famous sceneries like Mt. Fuji. And Ukiyo-e also took on roles such as magazines, advertisements, and guidebooks for people living in the city. Ukiyo-e is made by several craftsmen who have different specialties. "Eshi" is a painter who draws the original pictures. "Horishi" is a carver who sculpts the woodblock. "Surishi" is a printer who colors the woodblock and prints them on a paper. The notable feature of Ukiyo-e is vividly multi-colored printing and outstanding layout. Modern AI technology enables old great works refreshed and three-dimensional.
