EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Poet Nakamaro (Abe no Nakamaro)" is a masterpiece from the series "One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets" (Hyakunin Isshu no Uchi) created by the renowned artist Suzuki Harunobu around 1763/64. The print depicts the famous poet Abe no Nakamaro, dressed in the traditional clothing of the Nara period, seated on a cliff overlooking the coast. The poet is shown in deep thought, with a scroll of poetry in his hand and a quill pen in the other. Two attendants, dressed in similar attire, are shown behind him, possibly assisting him in his scholarly pursuits. The print is a stunning example of the color woodblock print technique known as "Hosoban Mizu-e," which is characterized by its narrow format and monochromatic color palette. Harunobu masterfully uses a limited color scheme of grey, red, and black to create a sense of depth and texture. The poet's kimono, with its intricate patterns and flowing sleeves, is rendered in exquisite detail. The background of the print features a breathtaking view of the sea and the coastline, adding to the serene and contemplative atmosphere of the scene. The print is a testament to Harunobu's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of the poet's character and the beauty of the natural world around him. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, particularly for those interested in the literary and artistic traditions of Japan during the eighteenth century. The Poet Nakamaro serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and the enduring influence of poetry on Japanese art and literature.
