EDITORS COMMENTS
Empress Jito, also known as Empress Dowager Jito (Jito Tenno), is depicted in this stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai. The print is part of the series "One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Wet Nurse" (Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki), created around 1835 during the Edo period. Empress Jito is shown carrying a shoulder pole, balancing a large load on her back as she makes her way up a hill. The serene expression on her face and the tranquil landscape in the background convey a sense of resilience and determination. The scene is reminiscent of the poem "Saki no Sorobeku" by Tatsumasa Shunrō, which reads, "At the foot of the hill, I leave my burden, and climb the hill alone." The print is a beautiful example of Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which emphasizes the beauty of everyday life and the natural world. The intricate details of the clothing, the textures of the fabric, and the delicate shading of the hills and water create a vivid and immersive image. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring influence of its cultural traditions. It invites us to reflect on the strength and perseverance of the human spirit, as well as the beauty and wonder of the natural world around us.
