Literally, "pictures of the floating world," ukiyo-e had largely emphasized erotic and pop cultural subjects, such as beautiful women, kabuki actors, and scenes from history and folk tales, but Hiroshige—following Hokusai—chose to specialize in landscapes and travel series which dovetailed with the rising popularity of tourism in Edo Japan. It is estimated that he created more than 5,000 prints during his lifetime and each is a visual poem unto itself. Bamboo Yards, Kyobashi is one of his final series, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, which he began on retiring from the world to become a Buddhist monk in 1856. According to the Brooklyn Museum, "The characters 'Hori-Take' on the lantern of the figure just left of center on the bridge are the hidden signature of Yokogawa Hori-Take, one of the best known carvers of the day, an artisan responsible for engraving many of Hiroshige's designs of the 1850s. Here he has inserted his name on the one print most appropriate to its literal meaning: 'Carver Bamboo.'"
