Surugadai in Edo (Toto Surugadai)
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Stunning Woodblock Print from Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (c. 1830/33) This woodblock print, titled "Surugadai in Edo (Toto Surugadai)," is a masterpiece from the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the late Edo period (1830/33), this artwork is part of Hokusai's famous series, "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku Sanjurokkei)." The print depicts a bustling scene on a hillside in the heart of Edo (now Tokyo), where Surugadai, a district known for its bustling markets, is shown. The image is dominated by the steep, grey hills, with the rooftops of houses and buildings scattered across the landscape. The rooftops, with their distinctive red tiles, create a striking contrast against the grey backdrop. Local people, both male and female, can be seen going about their daily activities. A man in a straw hat walks along a narrow path, while a woman in a traditional kimono stands on a rooftop, looking out at the scenery. The print also features various trees and plants, adding to the vibrant colors and textures of the scene. The oban-size print, with its intricate details and meticulous brushwork, is a testament to Hokusai's exceptional artistic skill. The artist's ability to capture the essence of everyday life in Edo during the Tokugawa period is truly remarkable. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past. The "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series is considered a landmark in the history of Japanese art, and this print, "Surugadai in Edo (Toto Surugadai)," is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese culture, history, or art.
