Hobonichi Unsodo: Bijutsukai (Ferry) A6 April Start – A Timeless River Scene

Meiji-Era Art, Reimagined for Everyday Writing

From the heritage archives of Hobonichi comes Unsodo: Bijutsukai (Ferry) A6 (April Start) — a cover inspired by a craft design first published during Japan’s Meiji period (1868–1912). The original artwork appeared in Bijutsukai, a celebrated collection of multicolored woodblock prints by Unsodo, Kyoto’s historic publisher and the only remaining producer of hand-printed woodblock books in Japan.


This design captures a ferryboat from a bird’s-eye view, floating across a pale blue river streaked with bold white lines like rays of sunlight. Though minimal in form, the tiny boatman in straw hat and raincoat brings warmth and life to the composition. The rhythmic arrangement of boats and blossoms gives the piece movement, blending classical Japanese aesthetics with a surprisingly modern graphic sensibility.
