Oji
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating double-page illustration from Hokusai's "Fine Views of the Eastern Capital at a Glance" (Toto Shokei Ichiran), created in Japan during the early 19th century. This stunning work of art, a color woodblock print, is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the Ukiyo-e artistic style. The scene depicts a serene and picturesque view of Oji, a suburb of Nara, located in the eastern part of Japan. The print captures the tranquility of the area, with its lush greenery, clear waters, and traditional Japanese architecture. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen, including men and women, some in traditional attire, others dressed more casually. A man and a woman, dressed in formal clothing, are depicted walking along the path towards the Oji Shrine, which is situated in the background. The shrine, with its vibrant red gate and ornate roof, stands out against the backdrop of the verdant landscape. The print is adorned with intricate calligraphy, adding an elegant touch to the illustration. The use of color is masterful, with the green hues dominating the scene, creating a sense of harmony and balance. The print also features elements of the Kako and Sorobeku artistic schools, reflecting the diverse influences that shaped Hokusai's work. Overall, "Oji" is a beautiful and intricate work of art that provides a glimpse into the culture and daily life of Japan during the Edo and Tokugawa periods.
