EDITORS COMMENTS
Autumnal Sky at Choko (Choko shusei) from the series 'Eight Views of the Ryukyu Islands' by Hokusai, created around 1832, is a stunning color woodblock print that captures the breathtaking beauty of the autumnal sky over the Nansei Islands in the Ryukyu archipelago, located in the Pacific Ocean south of Japan. The print depicts a tranquil scene of boats sailing along the coast, with a bridge and a small island in the foreground. The oban-sized print is a prime example of Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e artistic style, which flourished during the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. The print showcases the vast expanse of the autumnal sky, with its vibrant orange and red hues, contrasting against the calm blue sea and the distant islands. The title "Choko shusei" refers to the location of the scene, which is believed to be the village of Choko on the island of Okinawa. The print also features the artist's signature, "Hokusai," as well as the title of the series, "Eight Views of the Ryukyu Islands." This print is a testament to Hokusai's ability to capture the essence of a place and transport the viewer to another time and place through his art.
