He does designs as he would do a photograph. He set the standard for landscape photography, without a camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tōkaidō series was the most popular print series ever made in Japan. Hiroshige returned to this theme again and again, with delightful results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then.
