EDITORS COMMENTS
Sima Guang and Shibata Katsuie, two renowned figures from China and Japan respectively, are depicted in this stunning color woodblock print from the series "Five Sibling Pictures of China and Japan" created by the legendary Japanese artist Hokusai in 1821. The print, part of the Zakurogaki Group collection, showcases the determination and fierce spirit of these two men. Sima Guang, a Chinese historian and politician, is depicted in scholarly attire, clutching a scroll and gazing intently at it, symbolizing his deep understanding and dedication to his work. His orange robes and the orange hue of the mountainous landscape behind him add a vibrant contrast to the otherwise monochromatic print. On the other hand, Shibata Katsuie, a Japanese commander and politician, is shown in full military regalia, clutching a lance and standing atop a mountainside, ready for battle. His fierce expression and the rugged terrain behind him emphasize his strength and courage. The cartouche at the bottom of the print identifies the subjects as Sima Guang and Shibata Katsuie, and the title "Five Sibling Pictures of China and Japan" is inscribed at the top. This print is a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of these two influential figures from different continents and cultures. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the rich heritage of Asian art and the artistic school of Hokusai. It is a reminder of the political and historical significance of these two figures and the impact they had on their respective countries during the Edo period.
