EDITORS COMMENTS
Abe no Nakamaro, the Seventh Poet in Hokusai's 'One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets Explained by the Nurse' (c. 1835/36) presents a captivating image of the renowned Nara Period poet, Abe no Nakamaro, seated atop a hill overlooking the coast. The 19th century color woodblock print by the master artist Hokusai, also known as Katsushika Hokusai, showcases Nakamaro in contemplative repose, clad in formal attire and holding a scroll in his hands. The poet gazes intently at the night landscape before him, with the rolling hills and the tranquil sea below, reflecting the serene beauty of the natural world. The print is part of Hokusai's famous series 'One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets,' which illustrates each of the poems from the classic anthology 'Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki.' This series is a testament to Hokusai's artistic mastery and his deep understanding of both the literary and artistic traditions of his time. The print is executed in vibrant colors, with the black color of Nakamaro's robe contrasting sharply against the blue of the night sky and the white of the scroll he holds. The intricate details of the landscape and the poet's features are rendered with remarkable precision and sensitivity, making this a truly stunning work of art. The Oban-size print is a remarkable example of Hokusai's artistic brilliance and his ability to capture the essence of both the poet and the natural world around him. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese art and literature and a reminder of the beauty and richness of the cultural heritage of Asia.
