EDITORS COMMENTS
Kannon Shrine at Kiyo Falls at Sakanoshita on the Tokaido" is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. This work of art is part of the series "A Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces" and was created around 1833. The print showcases the breathtaking scenery of Kiyo Falls at Sakanoshita, located on the Tokaido road in Japan. The composition is dominated by the majestic waterfall cascading down the mountainside, its white foamy waters contrasting against the lush green foliage and the blue background. The Kannon Temple, a place of religious significance, sits atop a rooftop overlooking the falls. The temple's red roof and the orange and gold colors of the cartouche add vibrancy to the otherwise monochromatic scene. People, both male and female, can be seen in the foreground, taking in the scenic view. The men, possibly travelers on the Shukuba (post towns) route, are shown in various poses, some in deep contemplation while others engage in casual conversation. The background is filled with the rolling hills and mountains, adding to the sense of depth and scale. This print is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the woodblock print technique, with intricate details and precise color application. It is a valuable piece of Asian art, showcasing the natural beauty of Japan during the Edo period and the spiritual significance of its landmarks. The print is a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic school of Hokusai and the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
