EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning polychrome woodblock print by Hokusai captures the serene beauty of Sekiya Village on the Sumida River during dawn. Created in the early 19th century, this artwork is part of Hokusai's renowned series, "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" which showcases his mastery of ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese art form. In this particular scene, we see a horseman and his companions riding along a mist-covered road that winds through the countryside. The soft colors and delicate brushwork create an ethereal atmosphere, evoking a sense of tranquility and mystery. As our eyes are drawn further into the image, we catch sight of majestic Mount Fuji rising in the distance. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident in every element: from the intricate patterns on the riders' garments to the subtle gradations in color that depict different layers of mist. Through this print, he not only captures a specific location but also conveys a timeless sense of Japan's natural beauty and cultural heritage. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a testament to Hokusai's artistic genius and enduring legacy. It invites us to immerse ourselves in its captivating world—a moment frozen in time where nature meets human presence with grace and harmony.
