EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print titled "Rokugo Ferry" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th century Japan. The artist, Keisai Eisen, or Ikeda Yoshinobu as he is also known, skillfully captures a moment in time at this bustling riverside scene. The image showcases a picturesque village nestled along the riverbank, with charming houses and huts dotting the landscape. A jetty extends into the water, where a ferry awaits passengers eager to cross to the other side. The black ink lettering adds an authentic touch to the artwork, providing insight into Japanese language and culture. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn towards Mount Fuji majestically rising in the distance. Its presence serves as a reminder of nature's grandeur and its influence on everyday life in Japan. Intriguingly, amidst all this activity stands a solitary bystander observing his surroundings. This figure adds depth and mystery to the composition while inviting us to ponder what thoughts might be running through his mind. Eisen's masterful use of colours brings vibrancy to both sky and water alike. The clouds overhead create an ever-changing backdrop that enhances our sense of being transported into another world - one filled with tranquility yet teeming with life. This exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to immerse ourselves in Japanese art history and experience firsthand the beauty of ukiyo-e prints like never before.
