EDITORS COMMENTS
Harumichi no Tsuraki," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai Katsushika, is the thirty-second image in the series "One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets Explained by the Nurse," created around 1835-36. This exquisite work of art showcases the daily life of Harumichi no Tsuraki, one of the poets featured in the famous anthology "Hyakunin Isshu" or "One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets." The scene unfolds on the banks of a tranquil river, where a man, identified as Harumichi no Tsuraki, is depicted standing on a wooden plank, preparing to cross a footbridge. The bridge, with its graceful arches and delicate construction, spans the estuary, connecting the two banks of the river. The artist masterfully uses color to bring the scene to life, with the blue river reflecting the clear sky above, and the vibrant hues of the landscape surrounding the figure. Children play nearby, adding a sense of warmth and joy to the scene. A woman, possibly the nurse from the series' title, watches from the other side of the river, her expression filled with curiosity and intrigue. Harumichi no Tsuraki, dressed in traditional clothing, looks determined as he prepares to cross the bridge, his mouth set in a firm line, a chute in his hand. This stunning oban-sized print is a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in Japan during the Edo period. The intricate details, from the textures of the clothing to the ripples in the water, make this a truly captivating work of art that invites the viewer to explore the rich heritage of Japanese culture.
