Hiroshige II

In 1865 he moved from Edo to Yokohama after dissolving his marriage and began using the name Kisai Risshō (喜斎立祥; alternate pronunciation: Ryūshō).

His earliest known work is the illustrations for a book called Twenty-four Paragons of Japan and China from 1849.

During this decade he produced a number of collaborative print series, particularly with Kunisada, who had earlier worked with Hiroshige I.

In his final years he turned mainly to decorating works intended for export, such as tea chests, kites, and lanterns.
