EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Morning after the Snow at Koishikawa in Edo" captures a serene winter scene from the 19th century Edo period in Japan. Created by renowned artist Hokusai, this polychrome woodblock print is part of his famous series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji". The image showcases the majestic Mount Fuji in the background, partially obscured by snow-laden trees. In the foreground, we see a tea house nestled among traditional Japanese architecture with balconies and tatami floors. A female waitress stands on one of these balconies, gesturing towards something outside. Her hand gesture suggests that she is pointing out something to someone or perhaps signaling an order to another staff member. The overall color palette of this artwork reflects the wintry atmosphere, with shades of white and blue dominating the scene. Hokusai's masterful use of ink and color on paper brings depth and texture to every element depicted. This piece not only highlights Hokusai's artistic skill but also provides a glimpse into daily life during that era. It invites viewers to imagine themselves sipping warm tea while admiring nature's beauty after a fresh snowfall at Koishikawa in Edo.
