The Ferry at Yoroi, 1862
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige II, part of his renowned series "Thirty-six Famous Views of the Eastern Capital." This exquisite artwork captures a serene moment in time during the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. The scene unfolds at the Yoroi Ferry, located in present-day Chiba Prefecture. The ferryman, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully navigates the boat through the calm waters, while passengers, both male and female, don colorful kimonos and hats, some sheltering themselves with parasols against the sun or snow. A man in a straw cape, possibly the ferryman's assistant, stands at the ready on the shore. The intricate details of the clothing and accessories are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during this era. The vibrant colors and dynamic compositions are characteristic of Utagawa Hiroshige II's masterful woodblock printing technique. The print offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people during the nineteenth century, showcasing various occupations, from the ferryman and his assistant to the passengers traveling across the water. The changing seasons are also reflected in the scene, with snow falling in the background, adding an element of tranquility and beauty to the composition. This artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or the history of woodblock printing. The Ferry at Yoroi, 1862, is not only a visual feast but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people of Japan during the Edo period.
