天童広重(Hirosige Tendo)： Hiroshige Tendo is a general term for hand-drawn ukiyo-e paintings by Hiroshige Utagawa, an ukiyo-e artist in the late Edo period. It is one of Hiroshige's representative paintings, and it is rare to ask an ukiyo-e artist to make such a large number of paintings during the Edo period.

Summary： In the latter half of the Edo period, the Tendo clan was in a chronic deficit, as was the case with many clan. Hiroshige Tendo was created as a reward for the wealthy people in the domain. The reason why Hiroshige was asked to produce by the Tendo domain is the exchange between the people from the Tendo domain and Hiroshige through Kyoka. Many people in the Tendo domain wrote Kyoka, and Hiroshige was often in charge of the illustrations for the Kyoka picture books. It is presumed that Hiroshige Tendo was drawn mainly by Hiroshige, Senzaemon Yoshida, and Fuminaka Tano. Hiroshige relocated from Tokiwa-cho to Nakahashi Kano Shindo in the summer of Kaei 2 when he painted a portrait of Fuminaka, borrowing 100 Ryo from his friend Echizenya. It is presumed that this was in anticipation of a reward from the Tendo domain, and it is probable that Hiroshige Tendo was drawn here. The production period is about one and a half to two years. It contains a poor quality work that seems to have been made by his disciple because it was drawn in large numbers in a short period of time. However, it is extremely rare in the history of ukiyo-e that the clan asks a ukiyo-e artist to draw a large number of drawings. Hiroshige's fame seems to have increased since then, and the number of his hand-drawn paintings has increased.

Feature： Currently, about 95 pieces are confirmed in the illustrations, but it is estimated that about 200 pieces were drawn from various materials. Although it can be confirmed in the illustrations and literature, there are many works that have been lost due to the Great Kanto Earthquake and the war. Many of the existing Tendo Hiroshige are often preserved as they were. This is because Hiroshige Tendo was treated carefully by art dealers and collectors as a rare work requested by a daimyo, with the meaning of distinguishing it from other Hiroshige handwriting.
