English: Title: "Cotton Transport Ships Racing to Edo Set Sail from the Mouth of the (Aji) River" (Higaki shinmen bansen kawaguchi shuppan no zu). Late Edo Period (Ansei) circa 1855. This nishiki-e depicts the scene where the Higaki Kaisen loaded with new cotton gathers on the banks of Aji River in Osaka and is about to set sail. The author is Yoshitoyo Gansuitei, an artist from Osaka who made paintings during the Ansei period. During the Edo period, a race was held once a year for the Higaki Kaisen, which carries the new cotton produced in the fall of that year from Osaka to Edo. This is called the "new cotton guard ship", and this figure is a live drawing of the departure. The scene where the crew receives the certificate (stamp) of the number ship participating in the race and the depiction of rushing to row the ferry to the stamp delivery place give a sense of urgency at the time of departure, and the appearance of the spectators gives an atmosphere of festivities. As with the "New Cotton Bansen," there was a "New Sake Bansen" in the race between ships that carried goods to Edo. The same liveliness would have been seen on the new sake bansen starting from Nishinomiya. Products from all over the country were transported by water to the warehouses of each clan, and Osaka was later called the City of Water. This is a testament of Osaka's bustling shipping industry.
日本語: 『菱垣新綿番船川口出帆之図』(ヒガキシンメンバンブネカワグチシュッパンノズ)。新綿を積んだ菱垣廻船が大坂安治川岸に集まり、出帆しようとする情景を描いた錦絵。作者は安政期に作品を残す大坂の絵師・含粋亭芳豊である。江戸時代には、年に一度、その年の秋にできた新綿を、大坂から江戸に運ぶ菱垣廻船のレースが催された。これを「新綿番船」といい、本図はその出発の様子を活写している。レースに参加する番船の証明書(切手)を乗組員が受取る場面や、切手渡し場に向かい上荷船を漕ぎ急ぐ描写からは出発時の緊迫感が、見物する人びとの様子からはお祭り騒ぎの雰囲気が感じられる。なお、「新綿番船」と同じく、江戸まで商品を運ぶ船のレースに「新酒番船」があった。西宮を出発地とする新酒番船においても、同様の活気がみられただろう。全国各地の物産が水運によって各藩の蔵屋敷に運ばれ、大坂はのちに水の都と呼ばれるようになった。これは、大阪の活気ある海運業界の証です。 |
