EDITORS COMMENTS
Sekiya Village on the Sumida River," a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai Katsushika, showcases the picturesque scene of the Sumida River Estuary during the Edo period (1603-1868). This print is part of Hokusai's famous series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjurokkei), created around 1830/33. The print depicts a lively scene on the riverbank, with a group of men and horses gathered near the water's edge. A man on horseback, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, is shown galloping towards the viewer, creating a sense of motion and energy. The horses, with their powerful legs in mid-gallop, add to the dynamic and exhilarating atmosphere of the scene. In the background, the iconic Mount Fuji (Fujiyama) can be seen rising majestically above the landscape, its snow-capped peak standing out against the blue sky. The river, with its calm waters and gentle curves, reflects the vibrant colors of the scene, adding depth and dimension to the print. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title "Sekiya Village on the Sumida River" (Sumidagawa Sekiya no sato), and the artist's signature, "Hokusai." The print is further enhanced by intricate details, such as the textured patterns on the horses' coats and the delicate brushwork of the trees and mountains. This stunning work of art, with its rich colors and dynamic composition, offers a glimpse into the daily life and scenic beauty of Japan during the 19th century. It is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the art of ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
