EDITORS COMMENTS
Abe no Nakamaro, the seventh poet in Hokusai's renowned series "One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets Explained by the Nurse," is depicted in this color woodblock print from the 19th century. The poet, dressed in formal attire and seated on a hilltop overlooking the coast, contemplates the night landscape before him. The tranquil scene is reminiscent of the Nara and Edo periods, during which poetry and education held great importance in Japanese culture. The print, titled "Abe no Nakamaro" or "Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki," is a testament to Hokusai's artistic mastery. The use of bold, black color contrasted with the cool, blue tones of the night sky and the water creates a striking visual effect. The hills and coastal geographical features in the background add depth and dimension to the composition. Hokusai, whose given name was Katsushika Hokusai and whose artistic name was Tokimasa, was a prominent figure in the artistic school of ukiyo-e. His work, characterized by its innovative use of color and perspective, continues to inspire artists and art lovers around the world. This oban-size print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or literature. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring influence of its literary and artistic traditions.
