EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Women and a Boy by Brazier (Hibachi), 1816" is a masterpiece created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai. The artwork beautifully captures a scene from domestic life in 19th century Japan. In this woodcut print, we see three women and a young boy gathered around a brazier, or hibachi, which serves as both heating and cooking apparatus. Dressed in traditional kimonos, they are engrossed in their preparations for cooking. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the intricate calligraphy adorning the walls to the carefully arranged utensils on display. The composition exudes tranquility as steam rises from the kettle placed atop the brazier. It offers us an intimate glimpse into everyday life during that period in Japan's history. The presence of both women and men engaged in culinary activities highlights the importance of communal food preparation within Japanese culture. Hokusai's skillful use of lines and shading brings depth to each figure, emphasizing their individuality while also hinting at their interconnectedness. Through this work of art, he invites us to appreciate not only his technical prowess but also the beauty found within ordinary moments. Currently housed at the State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this print stands as a testament to Hokusai's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists.
