EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by the renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai, titled "TActo honjo tatekawa, Tategawa at the capital" we are transported to a bustling scene in ancient Japan. Created around 1833 or 1834 and later printed, this artwork measures 24.3 x 36.1 cm and showcases Hokusai's exceptional talent for capturing everyday life with intricate details. The focal point of the print is a man skillfully cutting boards, his concentration evident as he meticulously shapes each piece. Surrounding him are two men diligently building a wall, their teamwork harmoniously depicted through their synchronized movements. The vibrant colors used in this woodcut bring an added sense of liveliness to the scene, enhancing our connection to these hardworking individuals. Hokusai's mastery lies not only in his technical execution but also in his ability to transport us back in time. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse of Tokyo (then known as Edo) during its transformation into a thriving capital city. The meticulous attention given to architectural elements highlights the significance of construction during that period. As we admire Quint Lox's photograph print from Liszt Collection today, let us appreciate Hokusai's artistic brilliance and reflect on how art can bridge gaps between different eras and cultures.
