Shigenobu (his original name was Chinpei Suzuki), was Hiroshige's most competent pupil. He was integrated into the family and was adopted by the great master when his own son had died in 1845. After the master's death, Shigenobu married Otatsu, an adopted daughter of Hiroshige I and took his master's go. Hiroshige II continued the landscape style of Hiroshige.
