Poem by Sarumaru Dayu
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodblock print from the series "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai, around 1835-36. This masterpiece is a testament to Hokusai's exceptional artistic skills and his deep understanding of the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The print depicts Sarumaru Dayu, a female nurse, standing on the outskirts of a serene landscape, reciting poetry to a group of local people. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills, a winding path, and a tranquil lake, all rendered in exquisite detail with vibrant colors. The use of contrasting colors, such as the brown earthy tones of the path and the lush greens of the landscape, adds depth and texture to the print. The poem being recited by Sarumaru Dayu is not visible in the print, but the title suggests that it is one of the One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets, a renowned collection of Japanese poetry from the Heian and Edo periods. The series "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" was a popular and influential work during the Edo period, and this print is a beautiful representation of the connection between poetry, nature, and community in Japanese culture. Hokusai's mastery of the woodblock printing technique is evident in the intricate details of the print, from the delicate folds of Sarumaru Dayu's kimono to the textured foliage of the trees. The oban-sized print is a true work of art that invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty of nature and the power of poetry to bring people together. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history, and a testament to Hokusai's enduring influence on Japanese art and culture. Whether displayed in a gallery or art institute, or simply appreciated as a work of art, "Poem by Sarumaru Dayu" is a treasure to be cherished for generations to come.
