Poem by Chunagon Yakamochi
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from Hokusai's renowned series "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" (Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki), created around 1835/36. This masterpiece, a testament to the artistic brilliance of Hokusai (1760-1849), showcases the poetic beauty of Japan's rich literary heritage. The print features a serene coastal scene, with a headland jutting out into the sea, dotted with houses and boats. The calm blue waters reflect the brown houseboats, creating a mirror-like effect. In the foreground, a figure in traditional Japanese attire sits on a rock, engrossed in reading a scroll. This figure is identified as Chunagon Yakamochi, a poet from the Edo period (794-1868), who is believed to have composed the poem depicted in the print. The title of the print, "Saki no Sorobeku" (The One Who Leaves Behind), is inscribed at the bottom, along with the name of the poet and the title of the poem. The poem itself is not visible in the print, adding to the intrigue and allure of this beautiful work of art. The print, with its stunning use of color and intricate detail, showcases the skill and artistic vision of Hokusai, who was known for his innovative approach to woodblock printing. The series, which includes illustrations of one hundred poems by one hundred poets, is a celebration of Japan's literary and artistic traditions, and remains an enduring symbol of the country's cultural heritage. This exquisite print, a treasure from the 19th century, invites viewers to explore the depths of Japan's rich literary and artistic legacy, and to appreciate the beauty and timelessness of poetry and art.
