EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Zenkoji Temple and the Ferry at Kawaguchi (Kawaguchi no watashi Zenkoji)" from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei)" dated 1857, offers a stunning glimpse into the picturesque landscape of Kawaguchi in Saitama Prefecture, Japan during the Edo period. The serene image depicts the mouth of the Kawaguchi Estuary, where a ferry boat is shown making its way across the river, transporting people and goods from one side to another. In the background, the iconic Zenkoji Temple, a significant Buddhist site in Nagano Prefecture, stands majestically against the horizon. The print is a color woodblock creation by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige, whose artistic school is celebrated for its intricate detail and vibrant color palette. The scene is further enriched by the presence of figures, both men and women, who add a sense of activity and life to the tranquil setting. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides essential information about the location, including the name of the temple and the ferry, as well as the name of the artist and the title of the series. The oban-sized print, with its rich color and intricate detail, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to capture the essence of Edo Japan's scenic beauty.
