Poem by Gon-Chunagon Masafusa
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai, created in 1921 as part of the series "One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets Explained by a Wet Nurse" (Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki). This masterpiece showcases Masafusa Oe no Gon-Chunagon's poem, penned during the Edo period (17th-19th centuries). The print depicts a man, likely a peasant, carrying a large basket filled with blossoms on his head, ascending a hillside adorned with vibrant green foliage and flowers. The hill's gentle slope and the man's determined expression create a sense of harmony between man and nature. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a distant geographical feature, adding depth and perspective to the composition. The cartouche at the bottom of the print displays the poem's title and the name of the poet, Masafusa Oe no Gon-Chunagon. The poem's text is written in elegant calligraphy, adding a literary touch to the artwork. Hokusai's masterful use of color, particularly the green hue, brings the scene to life, making it a stunning representation of the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. This print is an excellent example of Hokusai's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, showcasing the artistic school and the arts of Asia.
