"Kuwana Shichiri Watashiguchi" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts scenes along the Tōkaidō road, the major route between Kyoto and Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The series was created in the 1830s during the Edo period, a time when travel and landscape art were becoming popular among the Japanese middle class.

The "Kuwana Shichiri Watashiguchi" specifically portrays the ferry crossing at Kuwana, one of the post stations along the Tōkaidō. The term "Shichiri" refers to the seven-ri (approximately 28 kilometers) distance of the sea crossing, which was notoriously difficult and dangerous due to its strong currents. In this print, Hiroshige captures the expanse of the sea and the effort of the boatmen, providing a vivid glimpse into the challenges faced by travelers of the period. The composition masterfully balances the vastness of the sea with the detailed activity of the travelers and boatmen, showcasing Hiroshige’s skill in capturing both the beauty and peril of the natural world.

This artwork not only offers insight into historical travel in Japan but also reflects Hiroshige's ability to evoke emotion and narrative through landscape, making it a significant piece in the study of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints.
