EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Maisaka: Ferryboats Crossing the Sea at Imagiri" (Maisaka, Imagiri kaijo funewatashi, no. 31 from the series Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations, or Gojusan tsugi meisho zue), showcases the breathtaking scenery of Imagiri, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan, during the Edo period in the 19th century. The print, also known as the Vertical Tokaido, depicts a serene coastal scene with a pair of ferryboats crossing the tranquil sea as the sun begins to set. The vibrant green headland and the contrasting blue-green water create a stunning contrast against the orange and pink hues of the sky, reminiscent of the solar system's colorful celestial bodies. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print identifies the location as Maisaka, a small coastal town in Shizuoka Prefecture, and the scene as Imagiri Kaijo, or Imagiri Sea. The title of the series, Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations, reflects the importance of this print as a record of the cultural and geographical heritage of Japan during the Edo period. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I or Hiroshige Ichiryusai, was a renowned ukiyo-e artist from the 19th century. His mastery of the color woodblock print technique is evident in the intricate details and rich colors of this print, which continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance.
