Hotei Smoking his Pipe
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print from the renowned Picture Book of Realistic Paintings of Hokusai, created by Katsushika Hokusai in approximately 1814. This color woodblock print, measuring 22.5 x 33.8 cm, showcases the artist's exceptional talent and mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular Japanese art movement. The focal point of this artwork is Hotei, an iconic figure in Japanese mythology and one of the Seven Gods of Luck known as Shichi-fuku-jin. With his rotund figure and jovial expression, Hotei exudes a sense of contentment and tranquility as he indulges in his pipe smoking ritual. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate patterns on Hotei's robe to the wisps of smoke curling upwards from his pipe. The vibrant colors used add depth and richness to the composition, further enhancing its visual appeal. This print not only showcases Hokusai's artistic prowess but also provides insight into Japanese culture and religious beliefs. As a representation of Buddhism, it symbolizes divine blessings and good fortune bestowed upon those who follow this spiritual path. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois, USA, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and profound symbolism. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and space while offering glimpses into different cultures and traditions. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their fine art collection, allowing audiences worldwide to appreciate its significance for generations to come. "Hotei Smoking his Pipe" stands as a testament to both Hokusai's artistic genius and Japan's rich artistic heritage.
