Lake Suwa in Shinano Province (Shinshu Suwako),
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print from Hokusai's renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjurokkei), dates back to the 19th century. This masterpiece, created by the legendary Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, showcases Lake Suwa in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Located in the heart of Shinano Province, Lake Suwa is a significant geographical feature and an essential part of Japanese heritage. The tranquil lake, surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque mountains, is depicted in this print as the sun begins to set, casting a warm glow over the landscape. The distant silhouette of Mount Fuji, known as Fousi Yama or Fujiyama, can be seen in the background, adding depth and scale to the scene. Hokusai's meticulous use of color woodblock printing techniques brings the scenery to life, with the vibrant hues of the setting sun reflecting off the lake's calm waters. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the thatched huts and buildings along the lake's shores, as well as the intricate patterns of the mountains in the distance. This print is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the art form and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty. The oban-size print, titled "Saki no Suwa," is a stunning example of the artistic school known as ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." It invites the viewer to take a moment to appreciate the passing of time and the fleeting beauty of nature. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or anyone interested in the history and culture of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868).
