EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, titled "Head of a Salmon" was created around 1820 by the renowned Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei. The artwork belongs to the ukiyo-e genre, which flourished during the Edo period in Japan. The print showcases Hokkei's exceptional skill in capturing intricate details and vivid colors. The head of a salmon takes center stage, its scales shimmering with hues of red, orange, and silver. The fish's eye is meticulously rendered, exuding a lifelike quality that draws viewers into its gaze. Hokkei masterfully combines ink and color on paper to create a captivating still life composition. A rope delicately encircles the salmon's head, symbolizing both the catch itself and humanity's connection with nature through fishing. This representation reflects Japan's deep appreciation for aquatic life as an integral part of their cultural heritage. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece exemplifies Hokkei's artistic prowess within his artistic school alongside other notable artists such as Iwakubo Kinemon and Kiko Hokkei. Its presence in this esteemed institution allows visitors to experience firsthand the beauty and craftsmanship inherent in traditional Japanese woodblock printing techniques. "Head of a Salmon" serves as a testament to Totoya Hokkei’s enduring legacy as one of Japan’s most celebrated artists from the 19th century.
