Ferry at Rokugō 1841 - 1842

"Ferry at Rokugō" is a woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige in 1841-42. This ukiyo-e print depicts a scene of daily life in Edo (present-day Tokyo) with two ferries filled with passengers crossing a river. The print showcases Hiroshige's mastery of perspective and atmospheric detail, with a striking depiction of the setting sun illuminating the water and the surrounding landscape. This print is part of the "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road" series, which documented the major post towns along the historic Tōkaidō highway in Japan.
