EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print by Kiyonaga, titled "Ferry at Rokug? River" transports us to a serene and picturesque scene along the river. The artwork showcases three elegantly dressed women gracefully seated in a boat, their beauty accentuated by delicate fans in hand. Each woman exudes an air of tranquility as they glide through the calm waters. Kiyonaga's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the intricate patterns on their kimonos but also their serene expressions. The artist's signature, "Kiyonaga ga" adds authenticity and further enhances the value of this exquisite piece. As we delve into this enchanting image, our eyes are drawn to one particular woman who stands out from her companions. She holds a smoking pipe delicately between her fingers, adding an intriguing element of mystery to the composition. Perhaps she represents rebellion or independence within this traditional setting. The Ferry at Rokug? River print offers us a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage and its celebration of femininity. It invites us to reflect upon the harmonious relationship between humans and nature while appreciating the artistry that went into creating such masterful woodblock prints. Displayed proudly at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this print serves as a testament to Kiyonaga's talent and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty even today.
