"Basket Ferry, Kagowatashi, Hida Province" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaido," which he worked on in collaboration with fellow artist Keisai Eisen. The series illustrates the 69 post stations, or resting points, along the Kiso Kaido, one of the five main roads of the Edo period Japan, connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto.

This particular print depicts a scene from the Hida Province, which is now part of the Gifu Prefecture. The central focus of the artwork is the kagowatashi, or basket ferry, a traditional mode of river transport where passengers and goods were ferried across the water in a large basket. The print captures the ferry in the midst of its crossing, surrounded by the lush landscape that characterizes the Hida region. The tranquil yet dynamic composition reflects Hiroshige's mastery in portraying the interplay between humans and nature, a hallmark of his artistic style.

Hiroshige's attention to detail and his ability to evoke the atmosphere of each location make "Basket Ferry, Kagowatashi, Hida Province" a captivating example of his work. The print is valued not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical significance, providing insight into the travel and transportation methods of the period. Hiroshige's prints, including this one, have had a profound influence on both Japanese art and Western artists, particularly the Impressionists, who were inspired by his use of color and perspective.

As with many of Hiroshige's prints, "Basket Ferry, Kagowatashi, Hida Province" is collected and exhibited around the world, contributing to the global appreciation of ukiyo-e and the legacy of Hiroshige as one of its greatest practitioners.
