EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print, titled "Creating surimono for the New Year" we are transported to Japan during the Edo period. The renowned artist Hokusai masterfully captures a moment of creativity and artistic collaboration between two individuals. Set in an art institute in Japan, a male teacher and his female student can be seen engrossed in the process of creating surimono, which are traditional woodblock prints exchanged as New Year's greetings. Dressed in vibrant kimonos that beautifully contrast against the olive green backdrop, their attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The teacher carefully guides his pupil through each step of block printing while she attentively listens and learns. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to honing their skills and preserving traditional Japanese art forms. Surrounded by calligraphy brushes, inkstones, and wooden blocks intricately carved with delicate designs, this image showcases not only the technical aspects but also highlights the importance of education and passing down knowledge from one generation to another. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident throughout this artwork; every line drawn with precision portrays a sense of harmony between man and nature. Through this mesmerizing scene captured on paper, we catch a glimpse into both the creative process behind surimono production and the profound respect for tradition that permeated Japanese society during this time period.
