EDITORS COMMENTS
Tago Bay near Ejiri on the Tokaido," a captivating masterpiece from Hokusai's iconic series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," showcases the breathtaking beauty of Japan's coastal landscape during the Edo period. The print, created around 1830-33, depicts a serene scene of Tago Bay, located near Ejiri on the Tokaido road. The composition is dominated by the majestic presence of Mount Fuji, shrouded in a delicate veil of mist, as it rises above the tranquil waters. Boats filled with fisherfolk and fishermen can be seen dotted along the coastline, casting their nets and lines, engaging in their daily livelihoods. The vibrant blue hues of the sea contrast beautifully with the rich, earthy tones of the landscape, creating a harmonious balance. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title "Fugaku Sanjurokkei" and the artist's name, "Hokusai Katsushika," along with the signature "Sori (drawing) by Hokusai." The print is also inscribed with the names of the series' publishers, including Tatsumasa, Shunrō, and Oban. This color woodblock print is a testament to Hokusai's unparalleled ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural wonders and the daily lives of its people. It remains an enduring symbol of the artistic prowess of the 19th century and a source of inspiration for generations to come. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this remarkable work in its collection, allowing visitors to experience the timeless allure of Hokusai's art and the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
