EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color woodblock print by Hokusai captures the essence of Japan's Tanabata festival in the 19th century. Titled "Six immortal poets preparing for the Tanabata festival" it showcases a group of men and women on a terrace, eagerly getting ready for the festivities. The artist skillfully depicts their anticipation and excitement through his meticulous attention to detail. The scene is set during the Edo period, with traditional Japanese architecture forming a picturesque backdrop. Balconies adorned with orange and green colors add an enchanting touch to this artwork. Hokusai's mastery of block printing brings out the vividness of each element, from the flowing robes worn by both male and female figures to their expressive facial features. The six immortal poets depicted here are Kako, Saki no Shunrō, Tatsumasa, Zen no Sorobeku, Tokimasa Hokusai (the artist himself), and another unidentified poet. Their presence symbolizes not only literary excellence but also immortality through their enduring works. As we gaze upon this print at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to possess it, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness these preparations firsthand. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of how festivals like Tanabata have been celebrated throughout centuries past. Hokusai's portrayal encapsulates both beauty and tradition within this single image – an exquisite representation of Japanese artistry that continues
