EDITORS COMMENTS
Hiratsuka: Ferry on the Banyu River and Distant View of Mount Oyama" is an exquisite 19th-century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige. This masterpiece is the eighth installation from the series "Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations," also known as the "Vertical Tokaido." The print captures the picturesque scene of Hiratsuka in Kanagawa, Japan, located near the Banyu River estuary. The print showcases a bustling ferry scene, with boats filled with passengers and fisherfolk preparing their nets. The ferry, positioned in the foreground, is crossing the river, providing a sense of movement and activity. The tranquil Banyu River, with its gentle current, reflects the clear blue sky and the distant, majestic Mount Oyama. The mountain's grey peak stands tall against the backdrop of lush green foliage, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The print's intricate details include the cartouche at the bottom, which provides the title and artist's name, as well as the background figures, such as the fishermen and their helpers. The use of color, from the vibrant blue of the river to the earthy tones of the mountainside, adds to the print's overall beauty and authenticity. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. It is a valuable piece of heritage art that showcases the rich cultural history of Japan during the Edo period and continues to captivate audiences with its stunning visual storytelling. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Hiroshige's work and the unique beauty of Hiratsuka and Mount Oyama.
