The End-of-year Market at Asakusa (Asakusa Mino Ichi),
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating double-page illustration from Katsushika Hokusai's "Picture Book of Amusements of the East" (Ehon Azuma Asobi), dates back to the early 19th century. This stunning color woodblock print, created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai, provides a vibrant and intriguing glimpse into the bustling Asakusa district of Tokyo during the Edo period. The illustration depicts the crowded entrance to the annual Asakusa End-of-year Market, where people from all walks of life flock to buy and sell various goods in preparation for the New Year. The market, located near the Sensō-ji Temple, is a riot of color, with red and blue building exteriors, and a sea of people dressed in their finest clothing. The double-page illustration is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the art of block printing. The intricate details of the buildings, the expressive faces of the men and women, and the dynamic composition all come together to create a lively and engaging scene. The marketgoers, both male and female, are shown haggling over prices, carrying goods, or simply observing the festivities. The market is also a reflection of the rich cultural heritage of Japan, with its religious significance and connection to the New Year. The temple entrance is visible in the background, adding to the sense of tradition and continuity. This illustration is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts of Asia, and a reminder of the artistic school that made Hokusai a legendary figure in the world of art. The End-of-year Market at Asakusa remains a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling world of 19th-century Japan.
