"Kuwana Shichiri Watashiguchi" (Landing Entry of the Seven-ri Ferry, Kuwana) is a celebrated woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This artwork is part of Hiroshige's acclaimed series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts the various post stations along the Tōkaidō road, the main travel route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo period. The series, created in the early 1830s, is one of Hiroshige's most famous works and a quintessential example of the ukiyo-e genre.

The print "Kuwana Shichiri Watashiguchi" captures the bustling activity at the Kuwana station, which was a significant ferry crossing along the Tōkaidō. The term "Shichiri" refers to the seven ri (a traditional Japanese unit of distance) that travelers would cover by ferry to reach the next station. Hiroshige's depiction is notable for its dynamic composition and the meticulous attention to detail, which vividly brings to life the scene of travelers boarding and disembarking from boats, set against the backdrop of Kuwana's waterfront.

Hiroshige's masterful use of color and perspective in this print exemplifies his ability to convey both the physical and atmospheric qualities of the landscape. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the fluid lines and careful placement of figures, creates a sense of movement and immediacy. This print, like many others in the series, not only serves as a visual record of the Tōkaidō but also reflects the cultural and social milieu of the Edo period.

"Kuwana Shichiri Watashiguchi" is highly regarded for its artistic and historical significance. It offers insight into the travel customs of the time and showcases Hiroshige's skill in capturing the essence of Japan's natural and urban landscapes. The print remains a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of Japanese culture, continuing to be celebrated for its beauty and craftsmanship.
