EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Poem by Fujiwara no Michinobu Ason, from the series One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" transports us back to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by renowned artist Hokusai, this polychrome woodblock print showcases his mastery in capturing both beauty and emotion. The image depicts a man, likely a porter or traveler, carrying a palanquin on his shoulders with great strength and determination. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this scene of road transport in ancient Japan. The man's attire suggests he belongs to the upper class, highlighting the social hierarchy prevalent at that time. Hokusai's artistry extends beyond visual aesthetics as he incorporates poetry into his work. This particular piece features a poem written by Fujiwara no Michinobu Ason, adding an additional layer of depth and meaning to the artwork. Through this collaboration between poet and artist, we are given insight into Japanese literature and its connection with visual arts. As we admire this woodblock print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage embedded within each stroke of ink and color on paper. It serves as a testament to Hokusai's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists.
