EDITORS COMMENTS
In this polychrome woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige, titled "Mitsuke; Tenryugawa Ferry, Station No. 29" we are transported back to 19th century Japan during the Edo period. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of ink and color on paper bring this scene to life. The print showcases a serene riverbank setting where a ferry boat awaits its passengers. Two boatmen can be seen standing proudly at the helm, ready to navigate the waters of the Tenryugawa River. Their presence adds a human touch to an otherwise tranquil landscape. Hiroshige's composition skillfully captures the essence of Japanese geography and transportation during that era. The lush countryside serves as a picturesque backdrop for this important mode of water transport, which was vital for connecting different parts of the country. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries past, we cannot help but appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty. It is through prints like these that we gain insight into Japan's rich heritage art and cultural traditions. This particular piece is part of the collection housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), showcasing Hiroshige's exceptional talent as one of Japan's most renowned ukiyo-e artists. As viewers, we are fortunate to have access to such remarkable works that continue to inspire awe even today.
