EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, No. 43: Port of Kuwana: The Shichiri Ferry, published in 1855, is a stunning example of the artist's mastery of the ukiyo-e style during the Edo period in Japan. Part of Hiroshige's famous series, Famous Views of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, this print showcases the arrival of a ferry at the port of Kuwana in Mie Prefecture, Japan. The image is filled with a vibrant energy as the ferry, laden with cargo and passengers, approaches the shore. The sailors and passengers, both male and female, are depicted with great detail and emotion, their expressions conveying a sense of anticipation and relief as they arrive at their destination. The group of people on the shore, including a man in traditional clothing, watch as the ferry arrives, their gazes fixed on the approaching vessel. The print's rich colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the shores of Japan during the Tokugawa period. The ferry, with its sails fully hoisted, cuts through the water, leaving a wake behind it. In the background, the landscape is dotted with trees and buildings, adding depth and context to the scene. This woodblock print is a testament to Hiroshige's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. It is a valuable piece of Asian heritage art, showcasing the beauty and culture of Japan during the 19th century. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is fortunate to have this print in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of this masterpiece.
