Amida Falls in the Far Reaches of the Kisokaido
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai, around 1833. This masterpiece is part of the series "A Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces" (Shokoku taki meguri), showcasing Hokusai's exceptional talent and dedication to capturing the beauty and power of natural phenomena. The print depicts Amida Falls, a stunning waterfall located in the Kisoji region, along the historic Nakasendo trade route. The Edo Period backdrop is evident in the traditional clothing worn by the three people seated on a ledge in the foreground, observing the dramatic scene. The cartouche at the top right of the print bears the artist's name, "Hokusai," and the title, "Amida Falls in the Far Reaches of the Kisokaido." The print is a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill, with the waterfall cascading down the mountain, creating a sense of depth and movement. The vibrant blue hues of the water contrast beautifully with the rich greens of the foliage and the earthy browns of the mountainous terrain. The print is further enhanced by the intricate details of the background people and the sorobeku (waves) in the river below. This oban-sized woodblock print is a significant work in the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Tokugawa Period in Japan. It is a valuable heritage piece, showcasing the artistic vision of Hokusai, and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The print is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
