Ferry at Rokugō 1841 - 1842

"Ferry at Rokugō" is a woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige between 1841 and 1842. This ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world", depicts a ferry crossing a river in Japan. The scene features a tranquil river and a boat filled with passengers and a ferryman. The print, created during the Edo period (1603–1868), captures a peaceful moment in everyday life. Hiroshige's distinctive use of color and detail creates a beautiful and evocative scene, highlighting the beauty of the natural world and the daily activities of the Japanese people. The piece is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
