EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and captivating print by Katsukawa Shuncho, we are transported back to the Edo period in Japan. The scene depicts a bustling landing where pleasure boats dock, offering a delightful day out for passengers seeking leisurely adventures. The artist's mastery of colour woodblock printing is evident in the intricate details of clothing and accessories worn by the individuals present. Women can be seen elegantly dressed, holding hand-held fans to shield themselves from the warm sun. Their hats add an extra touch of charm to their attire. As we observe closely, it becomes apparent that each person has a specific role or occupation related to these pleasure boats. Boatmen skillfully maneuver their vessels with precision using tillers while attending to every need of their passengers. This triptych format allows us to witness various perspectives and activities taking place simultaneously at this lively location. The jetty serves as a central hub connecting people from different walks of life who come together for shared enjoyment on these pleasure boats. It is fascinating how this artwork captures not only the beauty but also provides insights into daily life during this era. Katsukawa Shuncho's print serves as a valuable historical document showcasing transportation methods and fashion trends prevalent during the Tokugawa period. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate its significance in preserving Japanese heritage art and providing us with glimpses into centuries past.
