EDITORS COMMENTS
Waterwheel at Onden (Onden no suisha)": A captivating image from Hokusai's iconic series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjurokkei), created around 1830/33. This masterpiece by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) showcases the rural life of Japan during the Edo period. The scene is set at Onden, a location in Tokyo, where a farmhand, dressed in traditional clothing, operates a waterwheel to draw water from a nearby river. The wheel's wooden spokes and buckets are worn from constant use, reflecting the passage of time and the hard labor required for agriculture. Mount Fuji, Japan's most famous geographical feature, is seen in the background, a testament to the series' namesake. The mountain's snow-capped peak stands majestically in the distance, emphasizing the vastness of the landscape and the insignificance of human endeavors in comparison. The print's title, "Waterwheel at Onden," highlights the everyday life of the local people, adding depth and context to the series. This color woodblock print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of rural Japan during the 19th century. The print is an invaluable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage and the daily life of its people during a pivotal period in the country's history. This stunning piece can be found in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a different time and place, allowing us to connect with the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of Japanese art.
