EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print by Hokusai, titled "Poem by Ise" captures a scene from the Edo period in Japan. The artwork is part of the series One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki), created around 1835. The print showcases a bustling construction site where skilled workers are diligently repairing and roofing houses. The attention to detail in depicting architectural features, such as balconies and slate tiles, highlights Hokusai's mastery of his craft. In this particular scene, we see men and women working together harmoniously. A group of roofers can be seen carefully placing slates on a house while others engage in various tasks related to building maintenance. Their dedication to their profession is evident through their focused expressions and precise movements. The composition also includes elements of nature with blooming cherry blossoms adorning nearby trees, adding an air of tranquility amidst the busy atmosphere. Hokusai's use of ink and color on paper brings life to each character portrayed in this woodblock print. Through his artistic skill, he not only captures the physical labor involved but also conveys a sense of cultural heritage and appreciation for literature. This stunning piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, serving as a testament to Hokusai's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists.
