EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "No. 43 Kuwana: Shichiri Crossing From 53 Stations of the Tokaido" takes us on a visual journey through ancient Japan. Created by Utagawa Hirokage, a renowned artist from the mid-19th century, this artwork measures 22.8x34.8 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection. The scene depicted showcases the bustling activity at Shichiri Crossing, one of the stations along the famous Tokaido road that connected Edo (now Tokyo) to Kyoto during feudal times. In this coastal landscape, we witness an array of boats sailing gracefully across calm waters as they transport people and goods between various destinations. The meticulous attention to detail in this ukiyo-e print brings to life the vibrant maritime culture of East Asia during that era. The presence of tugboats adds an interesting dynamic to the composition, highlighting both traditional and modern forms of transportation coexisting harmoniously. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, we are transported back in time to experience a glimpse into Japan's rich history and its deep connection with its coastal regions. The intricate lines and delicate color palette used by Hirokage evoke a sense of tranquility while capturing the essence of everyday life along Japan's shores. This remarkable woodcut print serves as a testament to both Utagawa Hirokage's artistic prowess and his ability to capture moments frozen in time for generations to appreciate and admire.
