EDITORS COMMENTS
Lower Meguro (Shimo Meguro) from the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' (Fugaku sanjurokkei), created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai around 1830-33, presents a captivating rural scene. The oban-sized color woodblock print showcases the picturesque village of Lower Meguro, located in Tokyo, Japan, during the Edo period. The composition is dominated by the rolling hills and the serene Meguro River, which winds its way through the landscape. The village is bustling with local activity, as farmers and men go about their daily chores. A man in a straw hat, perhaps a farmer, is shown working on the hillside, while another man, dressed in a robe, sits atop a hill, gazing at the scenic view. The thatched roofs of the houses add a rustic touch to the scene, contrasting with the lush green hills and the clear blue sky. The print is a prime example of Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which emphasizes the beauty of everyday life and the natural world. The use of vibrant colors, such as the rich green hues of the hills and the blue of the river, adds depth and texture to the image. The print also reflects the regionalism of the time, highlighting the unique character of the Meguro area. The 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' series is considered one of Hokusai's greatest achievements, showcasing the artist's deep connection to nature and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's landscapes. This print, in particular, offers a glimpse into the rural life of the Edo period and the natural beauty of the Meguro area.
