EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tea Plantation of Katakura in Suruga Province," also known as "Sunshu Katakura chaen no Fuji," is a captivating color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai (1760-1849) during the late Edo period, around 1830-33. This masterpiece is part of Hokusai's famous series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjurokkei). The print showcases a serene tea plantation nestled at the foot of Mount Fuji, or Fujiyama, in Suruga Province, now known as Shizuoka, Japan. The iconic mountain, a symbol of Japanese identity, dominates the background, its snow-capped peak reaching for the heavens. The plantation is a vibrant scene of activity, with men in traditional clothing tending to the lush tea bushes. The tea leaves are a rich pink hue, ready for harvest, while the cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title and the name of the artist, Hokusai. The intricate details of the print, from the individual tea plants to the textured mountainside, demonstrate Hokusai's exceptional artistic skill. The use of color, particularly the contrast between the green tea plants and the pink tea leaves, adds depth and dimension to the scene. This print is a testament to Hokusai's ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty and the daily life of its people. The Tea Plantation of Katakura in Suruga Province is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the artistic prowess of Hokusai and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. This print invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquility of the tea fields and the majesty of Mount Fuji, a scene that continues to captivate and inspire generations.
