EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai, titled "Doll Festival" from his "Famous Views of the Eastern Capital" series, dates back to the early 19th century of the Edo Period. The vibrant and colorful image showcases the bustling scene of a traditional Japanese Doll Festival, also known as Hinamatsuri. The print depicts a crowded scene of men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, gathered in front of a row of shops and warehouses. They are busy buying and carrying intricately designed and dressed dolls, which represent the imperial court, as offerings for the festival. The dolls are displayed in ornate boxes, some of which are being carried by customers in a prostrating position, a sign of respect and reverence. The print captures the essence of the cultural event, which has been a cherished tradition in Japan for centuries. The Doll Festival is a significant memento of Japan's rich heritage and artistic legacy, reflecting the country's deep-rooted customs and values. This stunning work of art, with its intricate details and beautiful color palette, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Japanese art and culture, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and traditions of Japan during the Tokugawa era.
