EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print by Hokusai, titled "Surugadai in Edo (Toto Sundai)" is part of his renowned series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Created between 1830-32 during the Edo period in Japan, this artwork beautifully captures the rural life and rustic charm of Surugadai village. In the foreground, a group of hardworking porters can be seen carrying heavy loads using yokes and harnesses. These men are an integral part of the region's transportation system, diligently traversing the mountainous terrain with their cargo. The majestic Mount Fuji looms in the distance, its snow-capped peak dominating the landscape. Hokusai masterfully combines ink and color on paper to depict intricate details such as traditional Japanese architecture along a winding road leading through Surugadai. The artist's use of vibrant colors adds depth and liveliness to this scene from everyday life. As one gazes at this print, they are transported back to 19th-century Japan - a time when regionalism thrived and people relied on these dedicated porters for trade and travel. This artwork not only showcases Hokusai's exceptional skill but also serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this woodblock print continues to captivate viewers with its serene beauty and timeless depiction of rural existence amidst nature's grandeur.
