Sangi Takamura
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from Hokusai's renowned series "One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Wet Nurse" (Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki), created between 1835 and 1836. This exquisite work of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the extraordinary talent of the Japanese master artist Katsushika Hokusai, born as Tokimasa. The print depicts Sangi Takamura, a character from the Heian period poem "Saki no Waka" by Ono no Takamura. The scene unfolds on the coast, where a group of fisherfolk, including Sangi Takamura, are gathered near a natural arch. The fishermen are shown in the process of mending their nets, while a boat is anchored nearby. The tranquil scene is contrasted by the impending danger lurking in the water, as one fisherman seems to be drowning. The vivid colors and intricate details of the print are a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the oban format, a large size for woodblock prints. The artist's skillful use of color and composition creates a dynamic and engaging image that invites the viewer to explore the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The natural arch in the background serves as a striking geographical feature, adding depth and dimension to the landscape. The print also highlights the importance of fishing in Japanese culture and the connection between the people and the sea. Overall, Sangi Takamura is a beautiful and thought-provoking work of art that captures the essence of Japan's artistic traditions and the beauty of its natural world.
