EDITORS COMMENTS
Maisaka: The Ferry at Imagiri" is a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" by Ando Hiroshige, created around 1837-1842. This exquisite work of art showcases the picturesque scene of Maisaka, a small town located in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan. The print depicts a bustling ferry crossing at Imagiri, with several boats and sailboats docked at the shore, ready to transport travelers and goods across the river. The scene is framed by the towering mountains in the background, their grey peaks contrasting beautifully with the vibrant colors of the boats and the serene water. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title "Maisaka, Imagiri funawatashi," while the one at the bottom right displays the poem "Reisho Tokaido," further emphasizing the artistic and poetic significance of the work. The intricate details and delicate brushwork in the calligraphy add to the overall beauty and elegance of the print. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiyusai, or Ando Utagawa Hiroshige, was a leading figure of the Japanese artistic school during the Edo period. His mastery of the woodblock printing technique is evident in the intricate details and rich colors of this stunning work, which continues to captivate viewers and art enthusiasts around the world. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the beauty of its geography, showcasing the country's natural wonders and the people who inhabit them. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly the works of Ando Hiroshige, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Japanese art on the global artistic landscape.
