EDITORS COMMENTS
Waterwheel at Onden (Onden no suisha) is a captivating woodblock print from Hokusai's renowned series, "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjurokkei), created around 1830-33. This masterpiece showcases a serene scene of rural life in Japan during the Edo period. At the heart of the composition lies a waterwheel, situated in the foreground, its wooden blades turning gracefully as water cascades over them. The wheel's power is harnessed to pump water from a nearby pond, supplying irrigation for the surrounding rice paddies. The scene is set against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, Japan's iconic geographical feature, which stands majestically in the distance, its snow-capped peak barely visible through the mist. The print depicts a group of local people, including a farmer and his female companion, who are working in the fields. The farmer, dressed in traditional clothing, wields a long hoe, while the woman carries a basket on her back. Their faces are etched with the lines of hard labor, yet their expressions convey a sense of contentment and purpose. The print's intricate details, vibrant colors, and meticulous shading demonstrate Hokusai's exceptional artistic skill. The use of oban size and color woodblock printing techniques adds to the print's grandeur and visual impact. Waterwheel at Onden (Onden no suisha) is an invaluable piece of Asian art and cultural heritage. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural Japan during the Edo period and showcases the beauty and harmony found in the simple pleasures of farming and the natural world.
