EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Kawasaki: The Rokugo Ferry," is a stunning representation of the bustling activity at one of the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido Road during the Edo Period in Japan. The scene takes place at Rokugo, a small town located in present-day Kanagawa Prefecture, Kanto region. The print showcases a traditional Japanese ferry boat, the watashibune, making its way across the calm blue waters of the river, transporting passengers and goods from one side to the other. The oban-sized color woodblock print is a masterpiece of the artistic school known as the Hoeido Tokaido, and is also commonly referred to as the "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series. The composition is filled with intricate details, from the calligraphy on the ferry's sail to the local people and their belongings on the shore. The landscape is picturesque, with mountains in the background and cherry blossoms in bloom, adding to the serene beauty of the scene. The print also highlights the importance of trade during the Tokugawa Period, as the Tokaido Road was a major trade route connecting the eastern and western regions of Japan. Hiroshige's skillful use of color and composition creates a dynamic and engaging image that invites the viewer to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this historic moment in Japanese history. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e style and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life during the Edo Period. This timeless work of art continues to captivate audiences and remains an important part of the artistic heritage of Japan and Asia.
