This print from the series Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets, titled "Fumiya no Asayasu" and created by the renowned artist Hokusai in 1830, transports us to a serene scene of Edo-period Japan. The State Hermitage in St. Petersburg is fortunate to house this exquisite piece of art. In this woodcut illustration, we witness a glimpse into the daily life and local industry of the time. A lone male figure stands on a boat, effortlessly maneuvering his pole through calm waters adorned with vibrant water lilies. The tranquil landscape surrounding him showcases the beauty of nature that was cherished during this era. Hokusai's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he masterfully captures not only the essence of Japanese culture but also an atmosphere filled with tranquility and harmony. The delicate flowers blooming on the water's surface add a touch of color to an otherwise muted palette, enhancing our connection with both man and nature. As we admire this fine art image, we are reminded of Hokusai's immense talent for capturing fleeting moments in time and immortalizing them through his woodblock prints. This particular piece serves as a testament to his dedication and skill as an artist who sought to depict everyday scenes while infusing them with profound meaning. Through Fumiya no Asayasu's journey across these peaceful waters, we are transported back centuries ago, allowing us to appreciate not only Hokusai's genius but also gain insight into
