EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the series Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets transports us to 19th century Japan, capturing a poignant moment in rural life. Created by the renowned artist Hokusai during the Edo period, this woodcut illustration titled "Sarumaru Dayu" offers a glimpse into the daily struggles of an agricultural worker. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of breathtaking Japanese countryside, with rolling hills and a meandering path leading our eyes towards Sarumaru Dayu. Clad in humble attire, he walks with purpose, carrying a basket on his back and clutching a rake - his trusted tool for tilling the land. Hokusai's masterful use of color adds depth and richness to this depiction of rustic poverty. The vibrant hues evoke both the beauty and hardships inherent in farm life. As we observe Sarumaru Dayu's determined stride, we cannot help but feel empathy for him and all those who toil endlessly to sustain their livelihoods. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength found within peasant communities during this era. It encapsulates not only their physical labor but also their unwavering spirit amidst adversity. Preserved in the collection of the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, this artwork is an invaluable testament to Hokusai's artistic prowess and his ability to capture profound human experiences through visual storytelling.
