EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The little raven" a remarkable artwork created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai in 1823. The piece, found in the esteemed collection of the State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, beautifully captures the essence of Japan's Edo period. In this close-up image, we witness a majestic black raven soaring through the sky with grace and elegance. Its wings spread wide, as if embracing its surroundings and symbolizing freedom. The bird's flight is juxtaposed against a striking background featuring intricate calligraphy and an exquisite Minamoto clan sword from the 19th century. Hokusai masterfully combines elements of nature, weaponry, and symbolism to create a thought-provoking composition that reflects both beauty and power. The vibrant colors used in this woodcut print bring life to every detail – from the feathers of the raven to each stroke of calligraphy on display. This artwork not only represents Japan's rich artistic heritage but also serves as a reminder of its historical significance during times of war and conflict. By incorporating traditional Japanese motifs such as birds and swords into his work, Hokusai seamlessly intertwines concepts like warfare and peace within one frame. "The little raven" is truly an extraordinary piece that exemplifies Hokusai's mastery as an artist while offering viewers a glimpse into Japan's fascinating history and culture.
