EDITORS COMMENTS
Bai Juyi, also known as Bo Juyi or Hakurakuten, was a renowned Chinese poet and scholar of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). This stunning woodblock print by the Japanese master Hokusai (1760-1849) captures the essence of Bai Juyi's literary legacy and his deep connection to the natural world. Created during the Edo period (1603-1868), this color woodblock print is part of Hokusai's series "A True Mirror of Japanese and Chinese Poems" (Shiika shashin kyo). The artist masterfully portrays Bai Juyi in a contemplative pose, seated on a rocky coast with a scroll in hand, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the natural landscape. The poet's serene expression and the tranquil setting evoke a sense of peace and harmony. The print's vibrant colors, particularly the rich blue and green hues, add depth and dimension to the scene. The vertical nagaban format, a common size for ukiyo-e prints, emphasizes the verticality of the rock formation and the height of the poet, further enhancing the sense of grandeur and majesty. Bai Juyi's literary contributions were significant, and he is known for his poetry on various subjects, including nature, love, and the human condition. His works were influential in both China and Japan, and he is revered as a cultural icon in both countries. This woodblock print by Hokusai is a testament to the enduring power of poetry and the beauty of the natural world. It is a precious addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
