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, a man from the Heian Period (11th century) carrying a shoulder pole while standing in a scenic landscape. The image is a stunning representation of the Oban size woodblock print, with vibrant colors of green and brown dominating the scene. The poem inscribed on the print reads, "Saki no sorobeku / Tatsumasa no kako," which translates to "The shoulder pole of Tatsumasa / Is long in the past." This waka poem, a form of traditional Japanese poetry, adds depth to the image and emphasizes the passage of time. Hokusai, born Katsushika Hokusai, was a leading figure in the Ukiyo-e artistic school of Japan during the Edo and Tokugawa periods (17th-19th centuries). His works, characterized by their intricate details and innovative compositions, have left an indelible mark on the world of art. This print, in particular, is a testament to his ability to convey the essence of literature through visual storytelling. The exterior of a hut and the carrying of a shoulder pole are common motifs in the "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" series. The series, which features various interpretations of the famous One Hundred Poems (Hyakunin Isshu), is a visual exploration of the rich literary heritage of Japan. This woodblock print, with its captivating image and thought-provoking poetry, invites viewers to contemplate the passage of time and the enduring power of literature.
