Poem by Yamabe no Akahito
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art from the series "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai, circa 1835-36. This stunning oban-sized color woodblock print showcases a man, dressed in a traditional robe and hat, standing atop a hillside overlooking a distant coastline. The serene landscape is bathed in a soft, green hue, with the blue expanse of the sea stretching out before him. The title of the print refers to a poem by Yamabe no Akahito, a poet from the Edo period (711-784 AD), who is renowned for his evocative verses about nature and the passage of time. In this print, Hokusai masterfully captures the sense of contemplation and longing conveyed in Akahito's poetry. The man's introspective gaze is fixed on the distant hills and the sea, as if lost in thought. The natural phenomena around him, such as the rolling hills, the winding path, and the coastal landscape, serve as a backdrop to his introspection. The print's intricate details, from the textured fabric of the man's robe to the delicate foliage of the trees, attest to Hokusai's artistic skill and mastery of the woodblock printing technique. This work is a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese art and literature, and a reminder of the power of nature to inspire and move us. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, literature, or the natural world. Whether viewed in a gallery or art institute, this print is sure to captivate and delight the viewer with its beauty and depth.
