Description

Kuri Ferry at Funabori (alternate version, undated), depicts the same Funabori ferry crossing as the May 1932 dated composition — the flat-bottomed rope ferry across the Naka River at this eastern Tokyo district — in a second version that may represent a different season, weather condition, or compositional approach. The undated version and the dated May 1932 version together represent Hasui's thorough documentation of this working river-crossing that was one of the last such traditional ferries operating within what was becoming metropolitan Tokyo. The Boats & Ships tag indicates the ferry's compositional centrality.
