ディレクターコメント
舞坂の渡し船「今切の渡し」を描いた一枚。暮れる西の空、船とともに日差しが浜名湖を渡っていく。先を行く幔幕が張られた船は大名行列の一行を乗せた御座船である。後続の舟には中間と呼ばれるお供たちが欠伸をしたり、身体を丸めて寝入る姿が見える。舟が向かう先に見えるのは幕府の直轄下にある新居の関所。取り調べが特に厳しいことで知られ、船着き場はこの関所の中に置かれていた。

This scene depicts the "Imagire Ferry" at Maisaka. As the western sky darkens, the sunlight—along with the boats—makes its way across Lake Hamana. The lead vessel, draped in ceremonial curtains, is a Gozabune (state barge) carrying a feudal lord and his procession. In the following boats, one can see attendants, known as chugen, yawning or curled up asleep.
Visible ahead lies the Arai Checkpoint, which was under the direct control of the Shogunate; known for its particularly rigorous inspections, the checkpoint actually encompassed the boat landing itself.
The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido is the most representative series of Hiroshige's works, published by Hoei-do.
At the time, Hoei-do was still a new publisher, actively adopting new expressions and full of energy. Perhaps inspired by this, Hiroshige also worked enthusiastically on the series and created rich works based on his experiences.
Hiroshige was born in 1776, the son of Ando Genemon, a fireman on the Yashirosu river bank in Edo. He loved painting from an early age and became a student of Utagawa Toyohiro at the age of 15. At first, Hiroshige painted beauties and portraits of actors. He became famous as a popular painter by creating numerous landscapes, starting with his "Famous Places of the Eastern Capital" series.
