"The Sakasai Ferry" (original title: 逆井のわたし) is a woodblock print by the Japanese painter and illustrator Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) produced in February 1857.
The composition highlights the Naka-gawa River ("Middle River"), presenting varied shades of blue, with a darker tone in the center, corresponding to the greatest depth, and a blue-green along the banks where the reeds grow. Pure white, pigment-free herons (karazuri) inhabit this part of the river. On the opposite bank, higher up, there is a wooded area to the left and a small village to the right, which is the stopover for the ferry mentioned in the title of the print. In the background, a mountain on the Chiba Peninsula, east of Edo, emerges from the mist, under a sky mixing white and red hues.
