The New Fields at Ono in Suruga Province - A Glimpse into Edo Period Agriculture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This polychrome woodblock print by Hokusai, titled "The New Fields at Ono in Suruga Province" offers a vivid snapshot of agricultural life during Japan's Edo period (19th century). The artwork is part of the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" which showcases various landscapes and scenes featuring the iconic mountain. In this particular print, we witness a group of hardworking farmhands tending to their fields. With Mount Fuji majestically towering in the background, these dedicated individuals labor tirelessly under the scorching sun. They are accompanied by sturdy buffalos, serving as beasts of burden to carry heavy loads and aid in farming tasks. Hokusai masterfully captures the essence of rural life through his meticulous use of ink and color on paper. The lush green farmland stretches as far as the eye can see, dotted with reeds swaying gently in the breeze. This scene not only highlights Japan's geographical features but also emphasizes its strong connection to nature and agriculture. As we admire this heritage art piece from Hokusai's collection housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to an era when farming was not just an occupation but a way of life. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements today, it is essential to appreciate and acknowledge our roots deeply rooted in traditions like farming for sustenance and nourishment.
