EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodcut print by Hokusai, titled "Two warriors smoking a pipe at a bridge entrance" transports us back to 1825 in Japan's Edo period. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the scene to life as we witness two warriors indulging in a moment of relaxation. Seated at the entrance of a bridge, these warriors exude an air of calmness amidst their traditional costumes. Their stoic expressions hint at their strength and resilience, while the billowing smoke from their pipes adds an ethereal touch to the composition. Hokusai's mastery is evident in every stroke of this artwork. The delicate calligraphy inscriptions on the print further enhance its beauty, adding another layer of storytelling to this visual masterpiece. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported into a world where tradition meets tranquility. It serves as a reminder that even amidst battles and conflicts, there are moments when warriors find solace and peace within themselves. Displayed at the Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove, Glasgow, Scotland, this surimono print stands as a testament to Hokusai's talent and his contribution to Japanese art during the Tokugawa period. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the technical skill but also the cultural significance embedded within each brushstroke. Enzo Di Cosmo has captured this remarkable artwork through his lens with utmost precision and respect for its historical value.
