Hiroshige produced an estimated 8,000 designs over his 40-year career, making him one of the most prolific masters of ukiyo-e. His market has strengthened significantly in recent years, with the 2025 Sotheby's Paris record of $2.4M and growing international collector interest.
Maruyama in Nagasaki, the city's licensed entertainment quarter, is depicted in this print from the "One Hundred Famous Views of the Provinces" as a scene of nighttime pleasure — lantern-lit teahouses, courtesans at windows, and the distinctive international atmosphere of Japan's sole open port. Nagasaki's Maruyama quarter served both Japanese patrons and Dutch and Chinese merchants from the trading settlements nearby.
