EDITORS COMMENTS
Maisaka: The Ferry at Imagiri" is a stunning color woodblock print from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige. Created during the mid-19th century, this work of art depicts a scene at the Maisaka ferry crossing in Imagiri, Japan. The print showcases a bustling ferry dock, where fishermen and their boats are gathered, ready to transport passengers and goods across the water. The calm, grey waters reflect the blue sky and the surrounding landscape, creating a sense of tranquility and harmony. In the foreground, a man in traditional Japanese attire stands on the shore, watching as the ferry prepares to depart. The print is characterized by its intricate details and vibrant colors. The cartouche at the top left corner features calligraphy, adding an elegant touch to the composition. The use of chuban format, which is slightly smaller than the standard oban size, makes this print an excellent example of Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. This work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period and showcases the beauty of its geography and people. The scene at Maisaka ferry crossing in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, is a perfect representation of the journey along the Tokaido Road, one of the most famous and well-traveled routes in Japan during that time. The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series by Ando Hiroshige is a significant contribution to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished in Japan from the 17th to the 19th centuries. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly those with a focus on Japanese woodblock prints and the Tokaido Road.
