Hiroshige's perspective on urban nature today?
Even in bustling modern cities, echoes of the nature I observed can be found. Think of a single tree bravely pushing through concrete, or the patterns of clouds seen from a skyscraper window. The principles of contrast – the dense against the sparse, the enduring against the ephemeral – still hold true. My work reminds us to look for these moments of natural beauty and quietude amidst the clamor of urban life, a practice as relevant now as it was then.
