EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the series "A True Mirror of Chinese and Japanese Poems" by Hokusai takes us on a journey through time and culture. Created around 1833, this exquisite colour woodblock print showcases ten distinct scenes, each depicting a different moment in Chinese and Japanese history. From peasants pounding cloth under the moonlight to an old peasant crossing a bridge after gathering rushes at dusk, these prints beautifully capture everyday life in ancient China and Japan. We are also transported to grand gardens where Minister Toru enjoys the company of friends, and witness Li Po, a famous Chinese poet, admiring the majestic waterfall of Lo-Shan. The series continues with evocative images such as a horse rider overlooking a snowy landscape and a young man setting out on his journey accompanied by dozing fishermen. The historical episode featuring Sei Shonagon Meng Zi trying to open the gate of Hunguguan for safety is depicted with great intensity. We are then introduced to Abe no Nakamaro gazing at the moon from his terrace while attendants bring him food. A poetry competition between Bo Juyi and Sumiyoshi disguised as a fisherman unfolds before our eyes based on an intriguing Noh play called Hakurakuten. Finally, we encounter Harumichi no Tsuraki dressed in court nobles attire crossing a bridge over rushing waters in a breathtaking mountainous landscape. These prints not only showcase Hokusai's mastery of woodblock printing but also offer glimpses into rich cultural traditions that have shaped both China and Japan throughout history.
