EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print, titled "Nippori" is a double-page illustration from the illustrated book "Picture Book of Amusements of the East" by Hokusai. Created in Japan during the Edo period around 1802, this artwork showcases Hokusai's mastery of woodblock printing. The scene depicted here transports us to the outskirts of Nippori Arakawa in Tokyo, Japan. The lush green forest envelops the landscape, with tall trees reaching towards the sky and their treetops forming a magnificent canopy above. The artist skillfully uses color to bring life to this serene setting - shades of yellow highlight bursts of sunlight filtering through gaps in the foliage. As we immerse ourselves in this picturesque scenery, we can almost hear nature's symphony playing softly in our ears. The road meandering through the woods invites us on an imaginary journey into a world untouched by modernity. This print captures not only a physical location but also evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature that resonates deeply within Japanese culture. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously renders each plant and tree with precision and grace. Through his artistry, he seamlessly blends literature and visual imagery, creating an enchanting experience for viewers. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece serves as a testament to Hokusai's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists. It reminds us of the beauty found in simplicity and encourages us to appreciate our
