EDITORS COMMENTS
Lake Suwa in Shinano Province (Shinshu Suwako)," a captivating woodblock print from Hokusai's renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjurokkei), showcases the breathtaking beauty of Japan's Nagano Prefecture. Created during the Edo period around 1830/33, this masterpiece by the legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) invites us to witness the tranquil scene of Lake Suwa as the sun begins to set. Mount Fuji, Japan's iconic mountain, stands majestically in the distance, its snow-capped peak barely visible through the gathering dusk. The lake, shimmering in various shades of blue and green, reflects the vibrant colors of the setting sun. The serene scene is further enhanced by the thatched huts and buildings along the lake's edge, their warm tones contrasting with the cool blues and greens of the water and mountains. The print, titled "Saki no Erabu Nagasaki no Sora" (The Distant View of the Province of Shinano), is a testament to Hokusai's artistic genius and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's geography and cultural heritage. The print's oban size and intricate block printing technique add to its visual appeal, making it a prized possession for art collectors and enthusiasts around the world. This stunning work of art, a part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, is a reminder of the rich artistic traditions of Japan and the enduring beauty of its landscapes.
