Description

This serene woodblock print depicts the seventh station of Hiroshige's celebrated 'Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō' series, showing Hiratsuka on the old Tōkaidō highway that once connected Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto. A shallow river ferry carries travelers and cargo across calm blue water, with pine and cedar trees lining a low bank, thatched riverside dwellings, and the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji rising softly in the misty distance. Calligraphic poem inscriptions and a red title cartouche frame the composition in the classic ōban yoko-e format, conveying the quiet rhythm of Edo-period travel.
