EDITORS COMMENTS
Poem by Dainagon Tsunenobu" 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 showcases the poet Dainagon Tsunenobu (minamoto no Tsunenobu) from the Heian period (11th century), carrying a shoulder pole as he walks through a scenic landscape. The print, set against an oban-sized background, is a stunning example of Hokusai's artistic prowess. The green color dominates the scene, with the poet dressed in a brown robe, standing against the lush, vibrant greenery. The exterior of a hut can be seen in the background, adding to the serene atmosphere. This work is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its artistic traditions. The poem inscribed on the print, "Saki no sorobeku," is a line from the "One Hundred Poems" (Hyakunin Isshu) collection, which was popular during the Edo (17th-19th centuries) and Tokugawa periods (1603-1868). The poem's meaning is often interpreted as "the end is near" or "the end is in sight," adding a layer of depth and contemplation to the image. Hokusai, also known as Katsushika Hokusai and Hokusai Tokimasa, was a celebrated artist of the ukiyo-e (floating world) artistic school. His innovative approach to color woodblock printing and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects made him a trailblazer in the world of Japanese art. This print is a prime example of his skill and creativity, offering a glimpse into the past while maintaining its timeless beauty. The "Poem by Dainagon Tsunenobu" print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, literature, or history. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Hokusai and the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
