EDITORS COMMENTS
Ferry Crossing at Sakasai" is a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1857. This exquisite artwork showcases the picturesque scene of a ferry boat crossing the Sakasai estuary, with the village of Kashiwa in the background. The serene river, dotted with small boats and lined with tall trees, merges into the horizon, creating a breathtaking panorama. The print is characterized by its vibrant green color palette, which brings to life the lush vegetation along the riverbank. The artist masterfully captures the peaceful coexistence of nature and human activity, as people and animals, including an elegant egret, go about their daily routines. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiyusai, and Utagawa Hiroshige, was a leading figure of the Ukiyo-e artistic school during the Tokugawa period. His work is renowned for its detailed depictions of everyday life in Japan, making it an invaluable contribution to the cultural heritage of Asia. This stunning piece, now held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Hiroshige's exceptional talent and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. The ferry crossing at Sakasai serves as a reminder of the beauty and tranquility that can be found in the simplest of scenes, making it a cherished masterpiece of Japanese art.
