"Through Hiroshige's work, ordinary Japanese discovered the wonders of their own country, from the urbanites of Edo's "low town" (shitamachi ) who craved novel depictions of famous scenery in rural areas, to pilgrims who brought his prints home as souvenirs of their once-in-a-lifetime trips, commemorating everything from spectacular views of mountains and ocean to the best noodle shops along the way."
