EDITORS COMMENTS
Farewell Gift for the Horse" (Uma no Senbetsu) is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, created during the late Edo period in 1822. This stunning work of art is part of the series "A Selection of Horses" (Uma-zukushi), showcasing Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e style. The print depicts a beautifully ornate shikishi ban, or presentation board, adorned with intricate calligraphy and vibrant color. At the center, a simple yet poignant scene unfolds: a horse, with its head turned back in farewell, receiving a gift from an unseen figure. The horse's expression conveys a sense of gratitude and understanding, while the orange color of the scene adds a warm, emotional depth. The delicate brushwork and meticulous attention to detail in the calligraphy and lettering are characteristic of Hokusai's artistic school, which emphasized the importance of Zen principles in art. The print's title, "Farewell Gift for the Horse," is written in elegant, flowing script at the bottom, adding to the overall sense of grace and beauty. This woodblock print is a testament to Hokusai's skill as a master of the woodblock printing technique, as well as his ability to evoke deep emotions through simple yet powerful imagery. It is a cherished piece of heritage art that continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and significance in the history of Japanese art.
