EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hitomaro Cherry Blossom Hitomarosakura" takes us back to ancient Japan, capturing the essence of beauty and poetry. The image showcases the renowned poet Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, sitting on a balcony overlooking the vast sea, with a delicate fan in his hand. Hitomaro's work is celebrated in various literary collections such as the Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves (Manyoshu) from the 8th century and Hundred Poems by a Hundred Poets (Hyakunin Isshu) from 1235. His profound influence on Japanese literature is evident through his inclusion in these esteemed anthologies. The series of cherry blossoms depicted in this artwork was created for the Katsushika Poetry Association, known as "Katsushika Sakuratsukushi". The vibrant colors and intricate details bring forth an enchanting representation of plants and vegetation, particularly flowers blooming into their full splendor. Yashima Gakutei, mentioned on the object itself, skillfully crafted this paper-based color woodcut between 1821-1822. Through his artistry, he captures both the tranquility of nature and Hitomaro's poetic spirit. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage while celebrating one of its most revered poets amidst a backdrop of breathtaking natural scenery. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, beauty continues to thrive through art forms that transcend time and space.
