"Sakasai Ferry" (逆井の渡し Sakasai no Watashi), plate 67 from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (名所江戸百景 Meisho Edo Hyakkei), is a renowned woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created during the Ansei Era (1854-1860) of the Edo Period, this print is part of Hiroshige's most famous series, which was published between 1856 and 1858. The series depicts various landscapes and scenes from Edo, the city that would later become Tokyo.

The "Sakasai Ferry" print captures a tranquil scene at the Sakasai crossing, a ferry point on the Nakagawa River in the eastern part of Edo. The composition is notable for its depiction of the serene waterway with travelers and ferry boats, set against the backdrop of the distant horizon. The print reflects Hiroshige's mastery in portraying the changing seasons and times of day, with a particular emphasis on the atmospheric conditions and the play of light and shadow.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his innovative use of perspective and his ability to convey a sense of depth and distance. In "Sakasai Ferry," he utilizes these techniques to draw the viewer's eye across the expanse of the river to the far shore, creating a sense of peaceful expansiveness. The print is a fine example of Hiroshige's skill in capturing the essence of a location, making it a valuable piece of the visual historical record of Edo.

As part of "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," "Sakasai Ferry" contributes to the series' overall impact as a monumental artistic achievement that influenced not only Japanese art but also Western artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The series is celebrated for its artistic quality and historical significance, offering insight into the urban landscape and daily life of Edo before its transformation into modern Tokyo.
