歌川国芳「金魚づくし いかだのり」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Ikadanori (The Raftsmen)

In the latter half of the Edo period, the professions of the ferryman and the master carpenter were among the most celebrated. The ferrymen were tough since their lives and livelihoods depended on the water, but they also had contact with the elegant world of the pleasure quarters, from which they shuttled to and fro, and as such they garnered the admiration of the people of Edo. In the way they have tied back their fins, Kuniyoshi’s goldfish ferrymen certainly look manly.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi was a great master of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and paintings in the late Edo period. Born in the Nihonbashi Honshirogane-cho area of Edo, Kuniyoshi's talents bloomed when he was still in his teens and he went to study under Utagawa Toyokuni I, a popular artist of the day. When Kuniyoshi was about 30 years old, he came into the limelight when he unveiled the series “One of the 108 Heroes of the Popular Water Margin (Tsuzoku Suikoden goketsu hyakuhachinin no hitori),” based on the Chinese tale “Water Margin.”
