EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Yoroi Ferry, Koami-cho, from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, captures a serene moment in the daily life of 19th century Japan. The print depicts a ferryman skillfully navigating his boat, the Yoroi Ferry, across the waters of Koami-cho in Hiroshima. The scene is set against the backdrop of the picturesque landscape, with the vibrant colors of the autumn foliage reflecting in the calm waters. The ferryman, dressed in a traditional Japanese outfit, is shown wearing a wide-brimmed hat and carrying a long pole. A woman, elegantly dressed in a kimono and holding a parasol, stands on the shore, waiting for the ferry to arrive. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories are beautifully rendered in the color woodblock print, showcasing the artistic skill of Hiroshige. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), a time of peace and prosperity under the Tokugawa shogunate. The traditional costumes and occupations depicted in the print offer a glimpse into the daily life of the people during this era. The Yoroi Ferry, Koami-cho print is a masterpiece of the ukiyo-e artistic tradition, which flourished during the Edo period. It is an oban-size print, measuring approximately 26.2 x 38.1 cm, and is renowned for its stunning color and intricate detail. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or culture. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a cherished addition to their extensive collection of Asian art.
