| Hiroshige II: Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa |
Utagawa Hiroshige II (1826-1868), originally Shinpei Suzuki, was a student of Hiroshige I, the "great" Hiroshige. He married the latter's daughter and when Hiroshige I died, Shinpei Suzuki took his teacher's name. He continued to work in the classical Hiroshige style, and his works are confusingly similar to those of Hiroshige I.
