EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, titled "Newly Published Perspective Picture: Urashima Entering the Dragon Palace" takes us on a journey into the mystical world of Japanese folklore. Measuring 24.2x37.2 cm, this colourful masterpiece showcases Hokusai's exceptional talent in capturing intricate details and creating a sense of depth. The image depicts the legendary tale of Urashima Taro, a fisherman who saves a turtle from torment and is rewarded with an invitation to visit the Dragon Palace beneath the sea. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to an opulent palace adorned with chequered patterns and grand architecture. The use of linear perspective adds realism to the scene, making it feel as though we are standing within the very walls of this majestic court. The courtiers can be seen bowing respectfully as Urashima enters, while he kneels in awe on a terrace overlooking a breathtaking view. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricately designed ceiling to the checked patterns on both clothing and flooring. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a visual representation of Japan's rich cultural heritage. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this piece continues to inspire art enthusiasts with its beauty and storytelling prowess. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to transcending time and space.
