Poem by Yamabe no Akahito
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from Hokusai's renowned series "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" (Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki), created around 1835/36. This masterpiece showcases a man, likely a nurse, reciting a poem to a group of men gathered on a hillside overlooking a distant coast. The poem in question is by Yamabe no Akahito, a renowned poet from the Edo period (795-1185) in Japan. The print's vibrant colors, primarily blue and green, bring the coastal landscape to life. The blue hue of the ocean stretches out to the horizon, while the green hills and trees add depth and texture to the scene. The path leading up the hill, winding through the foliage, invites the viewer to join the group and partake in the poetic moment. The concept of the series lies in the interpretation of one hundred famous poems by one hundred poets, as explained by a nurse. This work of art not only highlights the beauty of the natural world but also the rich literary heritage of Japan. The nurse's role as a storyteller and the gathering of men around him emphasizes the importance of poetry and its ability to bring people together. This stunning oban-sized print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, is a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill and the enduring influence of Japanese art and literature on global culture. The print's timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences and inspire new generations of artists and scholars alike.
