The DAC Collection includes over 130 color woodcuts by Hiroshige Utagawa and 26 by Hokusai Katsushika. Many of these ukiyo-e works are from series of views along the Tokaido, of Mount Fuji, or of Edo (as Tokyo was called at the time); also among them are prints from the Senichi Edition of Hiroshige's "Ronin" series of scenes from Chikamatsu's play "Chushingura."
