EDITORS COMMENTS
Kuwana: The Landing of the Shichiri Ferry Crossing," a captivating color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, showcases the picturesque scene of the Shichiri Ferry landing in Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, Japan. This print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," also known as the Hoeido Tokaido. The composition of the print is masterfully balanced, with the curved shoreline of the bay leading the viewer's gaze to the ferry boat in the foreground. The ferry, with its sail fully unfurled, is skillfully depicted in shades of blue and grey, contrasting against the vibrant orange and red hues of the houses and buildings on the shore. The background is filled with the silhouettes of men and women, adding a sense of activity and bustle to the scene. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title "Kuwana, Shichiri watashiguchi," and the series title "Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi." Hiroshige's signature, "Ichiyusai Hiroshige," is also present in the bottom right corner. This print offers a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), showcasing the importance of the ferry as a means of transportation and the bustling activity at the landing. The print's intricate details and beautiful use of color make it a beloved piece of Japanese art and a valuable addition to any collection. The Landing of the Shichiri Ferry Crossing is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and moment in time. This print invites the viewer to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the scene, transporting them to another time and place.
