EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, titled "Hida Province: Basket Ferry (Hida, Kagowatashi)" from the series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces," transports us back to the 19th century and the breathtaking landscapes of Japan. This color woodblock print, created in 1853, showcases the picturesque scene of a basket ferry crossing the treacherous waters of an estuary in Hida Province, located in the central part of Japan. The ferry, skillfully manned by a determined figure in a blue jacket, navigates the dangerous waters, connecting the two sides of the gorge. The cliffs and blue-green waters form a striking contrast, with the cartouche in the top right corner providing essential information about the location. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo Period, showcasing the intricate details of the background people and their daily activities. The use of color, particularly the green hues, adds depth and vibrancy to the scene. This print is a valuable heritage piece, showcasing the rich geographical features and cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly the works of Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige and Hiroshige Utagawa.
