"A Ferry Boat on the Sumida River" is a woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese artist Keisai Eisen (1790–1848). The print depicts a traditional ferry boat on the Sumida River, a waterway that was an important means of transportation in Edo-era Japan. The scene is calm and tranquil, with a group of people aboard the boat, their journey accompanied by ducks paddling in the river. This evocative portrayal of everyday life reflects Eisen's mastery of capturing the essence of Japanese landscapes and customs.
