EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the Edo Period in 1849, showcasing a skilled Fisherman captured by the renowned artist Hokusai. The delicate strokes of ink and vibrant colors on silk bring this piece to life, measuring an impressive 208.9x54.8 cm. The Fisherman's attire reflects the traditional Japanese dress of that era, with every detail meticulously depicted - from his coarse robe to his gnarled toes peeking out from beneath it. Seated on a rocky landscape, he exudes a sense of tranquility as he skillfully wields his fishing rod. Humor is infused into this artwork through the fisherman's caricature-like appearance, adding an element of playfulness to the scene. His seated position suggests both relaxation and focus as he patiently waits for his next catch. The rocky surroundings further emphasize the challenging nature of fishing in such terrain while highlighting the fisherman's expertise in navigating these treacherous waters. A basket filled with freshly caught fish sits nearby, evidence of his success and dedication to his trade. This remarkable print now resides at Freer Gallery of Art within Smithsonian Institution in USA after being gifted by Charles Lang Freer. Its historical significance and artistic brilliance make it a true gem within their collection.
