"The Sakasai Ferry" 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 "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which was produced between 1856 and 1858. The series depicts various seasonal and atmospheric scenes from around Edo (modern-day Tokyo), showcasing Hiroshige's mastery of landscape and his unique ability to capture the essence of each location.

The Sakasai Ferry print illustrates a scene at the Sakasai crossing, which was located on the outskirts of Edo. It portrays travelers and villagers using a ferry to cross the river, set against a backdrop of the natural landscape. The composition is notable for its use of perspective, with the river leading the viewer's eye into the distance, and for the delicate interplay of human activity within the broader context of the natural environment.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his use of color, attention to detail, and the subtle gradations of tone known as bokashi, which he used to create atmospheric effects. "The Sakasai Ferry" is a fine example of these techniques, with its harmonious color palette and the evocative depiction of the sky and water. The print reflects the transient beauty of everyday life in Edo and is a testament to Hiroshige's enduring legacy as one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e tradition.

As with many of Hiroshige's prints, "The Sakasai Ferry" has been widely reproduced and remains a popular image within the canon of Japanese art. It is held in various museum collections and has been the subject of scholarly study in the context of Hiroshige's oeuvre and the broader genre of ukiyo-e. The print continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and as a historical record of 19th-century Japan.
