Poem by Teishin Ko, Fujiwara no Tadahira
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai, created between 1835 and 1836. This artwork is part of Hokusai's "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" series, which interprets famous Japanese poems through visual imagery. The print depicts Fujiwara no Tadahira, also known as Teishin Ko or Fumiwara no Tadahira, a man of the Heian period (794-1185) and a renowned poet. He is shown sitting under a maple tree, surrounded by other men, possibly interpreting poetry for them. The title of the poem written above his head, "Saki no sorobeku," translates to "The Maple Leaves Drift Away," reflecting the transient nature of life and the passing of time. The print is set against a backdrop of buildings and a serene landscape, with trees in various stages of autumn coloration. The use of blue and muted colors adds to the peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. The intricate details in the print, from the textured fabric of the men's clothing to the delicate branches of the maple tree, showcase Hokusai's mastery of the woodblock print technique. This artwork is a beautiful example of the Ukiyo-e genre, which emerged during the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan and focused on depicting the everyday life and culture of the time. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this impressive piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage and artistry of Japan's past.
