Utagawa Hiroshige's ukiyo-e prints

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a Japanese artist in the ukiyo-e tradition, considered the last great master of the form (which translates roughly as "pictures of the floating world"). His most famous works are The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and One Hundred Famous Views of Edo . His death marked the final decline of the form, but his work was highly influential in the west's Japonisme movement; Van Gogh painted copies of his works, for example.

This embedding is based on 30 images from his mature period , from between 1835 and 1858. (You'll find some interesting comparisons/contrasts with my embedding based on One Hundred Views of New Tokyo, 1928-1932, nearly a century later.) It was cooked for a total of 300 steps on base SD 1.5: 16 vectors per token, a 0.004 learning rate, a batch size of 6, and 5 gradient steps.

Your ratings, especially of the five-star variety, are very much appreciated.
