EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by Katsushika Hokusai in 1817, transports us back to the early days of Japanese martial arts. Titled "Samurai at Spear-Drill" it offers a glimpse into the rigorous training and disciplined lifestyle of these revered warriors during the Edo period. In this scene, we witness a group of samurais engaged in spear practice. The spears they wield are fitted with padded tips, ensuring safety while honing their skills. Each samurai has taken the precautionary measure of tucking up his kimono, an act that signifies readiness for any imminent trouble that may arise. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this woodblock print. From the intricate patterns on their kimonos to the focused expressions on their faces, he captures both the physicality and mental preparedness required for such training. The use of manga as a medium adds another layer to this artwork. Manga was not only a form of entertainment but also served as educational material during this time period. By depicting scenes like these within his manga series, Hokusai aimed to inspire and educate readers about traditional Japanese culture and values. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless depiction of discipline and dedication. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, the legacy of these skilled warriors continues to fascinate and inspire us all.
