EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Scenes from the war between Japan and Korea, end of 18th-first half of 19th century" by the renowned artist Hokusai, Katsushika. The intricate ink and wash on paper technique brings to life a historical event that unfolded during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Measuring at an impressive size of 38 x 28 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. It forms part of an album depicting various scenes from the war between Japan and Korea, bound together with printed textile binding. The image transports us back to a time when communication was limited but art served as a powerful medium for storytelling. The drawing captures high society individuals dressed in traditional kimonos engaging in salutations amidst a backdrop filled with soldiers, weapons, and sabers. Hokusai's mastery shines through as he skillfully portrays both men and women within this historical context. The black and white composition adds depth to each character's expression while highlighting their roles within this tumultuous period. As we admire this artwork, it serves as a reminder not only of Hokusai's artistic brilliance but also sheds light on significant moments in Japanese history during the Edo period (1603-1868).
