EDITORS COMMENTS
Plum Garden (Umeyashiki) is a stunning double-page illustration from vol. 1 of Hokusai's renowned series, "Fine Views of the Eastern Capital at a Glance" (Toto shokei ichiran), created in 1800. This exquisite color woodblock print showcases the tranquility and beauty of the Plum Garden in Japan during the Edo period. The scene is set in a traditional Japanese garden, where plum trees laden with pink and white blossoms stretch out towards the sky. A group of people, dressed in the elegant kimono of the time, gather around a bench, taking a break from their daily occupations to enjoy the seasonal beauty. A porter rests on the bench, his bulky load balanced carefully beside him. Children play nearby, their clothing a vibrant contrast against the serene garden setting. The artist, Hokusai Katsushika (1760-1849), masterfully captures the essence of the season, as well as the spirit of the people and their connection to nature. The intricate details of the plum trees, their delicate blossoms, and the ornate calligraphy that adorns the scene, all contribute to the overall beauty and harmony of the print. This work is a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the importance of appreciating the beauty of nature and the passage of the seasons.
