"Veerboot bij de pleisterplaats Zeze" (1863) by Toyohara Kunichika, depicts a ferry crossing a river in a misty night. The print uses a vivid blue color palette, and depicts figures in a rowboat illuminated by lanterns on a bridge in the distance. This ukiyo-e print showcases the skill of Kunichika, a leading figure in the late Edo period, known for his dynamic composition and portrayal of everyday life. It provides a glimpse into Japanese cultural landscape, particularly the bustling water transport of the time.
