(From Hiroshige Utagawa "Famous Edo Hundred Views Daihatake no Yudate")

　The relationship between Chuo-ku and Ukiyo-e is inseparable, but as for Hiroshige Utagawa, "Ogamachi (currently near 1-9 Kyobashi, Chuo-ku) was in 1849. I spent about 10 years until I died, "he said, "said an explanatory version at the site of the residence, and was a resident of Chuo-ku.

　When I previously read this description (for example, the "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" in the Tourism Correspondent Test), I imagined that I lived in a place other than Chuo-ku, such as the banks of Yatsushiro Su (currently Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku). There may be various theories about this, but according to the history of Hiroshige research by various people, it seems that the relationship with Chuo-ku as a place of residence was a little deeper (longer).

　According to Kenji Hinohara, Mr.
・When the reform of Tenpo by Tadakuni Mizuno of the old age began in 1841, a publication control order was issued, and actors and beauty paintings were prohibited. Landscape paintings that can limit the number of colors are not prohibited.
・From that time, Hiroshige traveled all over Japan in search of a leap as a landscape painter. We move every few years at this time.
・Tenpo 13 (1842) Moved from the banks of Yatsushiro Su to Ogamachi
・Moved to Tokiwacho in 1846.
・Moved to Kano Nakabashi Shindo from Kaei 2 (1849)

It's a coincidence. Ogamachi, Tokiwacho, and Kano Nakabashi Shindo are close to each other, but did you mean that you were moving nearby? I've moved several times in Nihonbashi, so I don't know (laughs).
