The woodblock prints of Ando Hiroshige

Ahhh... I found what I was looking for. A fellow enthusiast, johnxyz, has done a superb job on Hiroshige's many woodblock prints. The site is clean, easy to navigate, and contains well-written well-researched prose (with citations!). Large images, when available, are 806x580.

Magome There is the Magome Pass (801 m above sea level) between Tsumago and Magome, which are 8 km apart from each other. From the pass, Mt. Ena can be seen in the distance due south. The post town of Magome is below the pass. This is where Shimazaki Toson, a famous Meiji novelist, was born and is also the stage of his masterwork "Before Dawn."
