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 in Japan during the 1830s. This masterpiece, a testament to Hokusai's artistic brilliance, showcases the poet Sangi Takamura and his companions, engrossed in a poetic discussion on the shores of a tranquil coastal landscape. The print, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, transports us to the Edo period, a time of cultural and artistic flourishing in Japan. The natural arch in the background, a geographical feature unique to this location, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. The fisherfolk, dressed in traditional attire, are shown in a group, their boats anchored nearby. Ono no Takamura, the poet depicted in the print, is known for his poem about a fisherman who drowns at sea. The image of the poet, surrounded by his peers, is a poignant reminder of the transient nature of life and the power of poetry to capture and convey human emotions. This stunning work of art, a prime example of the Oban format, is a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic schools of Asia or the arts of the 19th century. The intricate block printing technique used to create the print is a testament to the skill and dedication of Hokusai and his team. Whether you're a scholar of Japanese art or simply an admirer of beautiful imagery, "Sangi Takamura" is sure to leave a lasting impression. This print, with its rich history and timeless beauty, is a treasure of the art world and a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to different times and places.
