Chapman, Jr., Class of 189557.0620The ferry is at the lower right, crossing the Arakawa(Sumida) River from the Temple of Zenkoji under the cartouche at upper right corner; the Temple is famous for its periodic unveiling of its main image of Amida, about every 17 years; this plain and somber scene could be compared in the Edo mind to the festivities and bustle of the viewing months; sense of movement along the river, upstream, is stronger than across it, creating a subtle interplay of varied diagonal shapes.Prints1812561061Utagawa Hiroshige57.062
