EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Kuwana: Ferryboat at Shichiri Crossing (Kuwana, Shichiri no watashibune)--No. 43," is a stunning example of the artist's mastery of the ukiyo-e style during the Edo period in Japan. Part of Hiroshige's renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," this work depicts a serene scene of a ferryboat making its way across the calm waters of the Kisogawa River at Shichiri Crossing in Kuwana, Mie prefecture. The print is beautifully detailed, with the intricate lines and colors of the boats and passengers contrasting against the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the artist's name, "Hiroshige," along with the title and series name. The calligraphy is elegant and precise, adding to the overall artistic quality of the piece. The oban-size print is a testament to the skill and artistry of Hiroshige and the block printing techniques of the time. This print offers a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the 19th century, showcasing the country's rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions. The scene of the ferry crossing is a common one in Japanese art, representing the journey and connection between different places and people. The print invites the viewer to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of the journey along the Tokaido Road, making it a timeless and captivating work of art.
