Tatekawa River Lumberyard at Honjo
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" created by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai between 1830 and 1833. This masterpiece showcases the bustling activity at a lumberyard situated along the Tatekawa River in Honjo, a district in present-day Tokyo. The print offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Edo Period (1603-1868), showcasing local people and industries. In the foreground, laborers are busy unloading logs from boats, stacking them neatly for transportation. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, are engaged in their tasks with focused determination. The river's estuary is teeming with activity, with boats of various sizes navigating the waterway. Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan and the inspiration for the series, can be seen in the background, its snow-capped peak standing majestically against the clear blue sky. The mountain's presence adds a sense of tranquility and harmony to the chaotic scene unfolding at the lumberyard. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, making it an excellent representation of the artistic school of ukiyo-e (floating world) and the oban (large format) size common during the nineteenth century. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the artist's name, "Hokusai," and the title, "Tatekawa River Lumberyard at Honjo." This print is a testament to Hokusai's skill and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in Japan during the Edo Period.
