EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tategawa at the Capital C016 / 1670" takes us back to the bustling city of Edo, now known as Tokyo, during the early 19th century. Created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai, this woodblock print showcases a scene of building construction in progress. The artwork vividly captures the essence of Edo's rapid urban development during that era. The meticulous attention to detail reveals workers diligently engaged in cutting and shaping timber boards at a busy timber yard. The skilled craftsmen can be seen focused on their tasks, showcasing their expertise in constructing buildings that would shape the city's landscape. Hokusai's mastery is evident through his use of delicate lines and vibrant colors, which bring life to this historical moment frozen in time. The composition beautifully balances architectural elements with human activity, creating a harmonious blend between man-made structures and nature. "Tategawa at the Capital C016 / 1670" is part of Hokusai's larger series called "The Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" also known as "Fugaku Sanjūrokk-kei". This iconic collection celebrates Japan's majestic natural beauty while capturing various aspects of daily life within its landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back centuries ago to witness firsthand the industrious spirit and artistic brilliance that shaped Tokyo into what it is today.
