EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Three men, and carp" by Totoya Hokkei takes us back to the Edo period in Japan. The image is part of the renowned "Hokkei Manga, Shohen" collection by Uwoya Hokkei, published in 1814 but reprinted in 1924. In this artwork, three men are depicted alongside a magnificent carp swimming gracefully in water. The attention to detail is remarkable as every scale on the fish's body is meticulously captured through woodblock printing techniques. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the composition. The artist skillfully portrays the connection between man and nature prevalent during that era. These individuals appear deeply engrossed in observing or perhaps even admiring the beauty of aquatic life. Their presence evokes a sense of tranquility and reverence for these creatures. Louise Norton Brown's book "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" further explores this artistic school from early 20th century Japan, shedding light on its historical significance and cultural context. This photograph print serves as a window into Japanese art history, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the technical mastery of woodblock printing and the profound relationship between humans and their natural surroundings during that time period.
