EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai takes us back to the bustling streets of Edo in the early 19th century. Titled "A sketch of the Mitsui shop in Suruga street" this artwork is part of Hokusai's renowned series, "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji". In this particular scene, we witness a hive of activity as men diligently work on repairing and maintaining the rooftops along Suruga street. The snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji majestically looms in the distance, adding a sense of tranquility to the otherwise busy cityscape. Hokusai's mastery shines through in his attention to detail, capturing not only the architectural intricacies but also the laborious efforts put forth by these skilled workers. As kites flutter overhead and houses dotting the landscape create a harmonious backdrop, one can almost feel transported into this vibrant world frozen in time. The popularity of Hokusai's prints led to an extension beyond its original publication with ten additional views added later on. This particular piece showcases not only his technical prowess but also his ability to depict everyday life scenes with great finesse. As we gaze upon this exquisite woodblock print, we are reminded once again why Hokusai remains one of Japan's most celebrated artists. His unique perspective and meticulous craftsmanship continue to captivate art enthusiasts around the world centuries after their creation.
