EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, created during the 19th century as part of his famous series, "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." This stunning artwork showcases the breathtaking landscape of Japan's iconic Mount Fuji, with its snow-capped peak rising majestically above the rolling hills and verdant forests of the Totomi province. The scene is filled with a vibrant palette of greens, from the lush foliage to the moss-covered rocks, and contrasts beautifully with the stark white of the mountain's summit. In the foreground, a group of men and women are hard at work at a construction site, their determined expressions and focused actions a testament to their occupation. The men are engaged in sawing wood, while the women appear to be preparing materials or offering support. The title "Sawing Wood in the Mountains of Totomi" further emphasizes the industrious nature of the scene, as well as the connection between the people and their environment. The image also highlights the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, with traditional clothing and building techniques on display. This woodblock print, now a cherished part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of his country's landscape and people. The enduring appeal of "In the Mountains of Totomi" lies in its timeless beauty and the universal themes of labor, nature, and the passage of time.
