We are also exhibiting at other auctions. I, an antique curator, select products. How to enjoy Ukiyoe as small tips. When it comes to painting, the image of putting it in a frame is strong, but that is just a way to enjoy Western painting. At that time, Japanese people enjoyed ukiyo-e by holding it in their hands. Is it okay if I don’t wear gloves? I’m often asked that, but Ukiyo-e shouldn’t be touched with gloves. Ukiyo-e is rubbed on thin Japanese paper. When I touch it with gloves, I don’t feel the sensation of my fingertips, and when I hold it, I sometimes inadvertently fold the paper or rub the picture. Of course, it is important to wipe off the oil on your hands before touching it, but you should check the thickness and weight with your actual fingertips. This is also understandable only by “actually touching Ukiyo-e”. 390 x 260 mm Technique (type): Woodblock print Paper quality: Japanese paper World-famous artist Katsushika Hokusai. It is “Kanagawa Okinami Ura” in the “Thirty-six Views of Tomitake”. I got it from a print laboratory that has a close relationship with Ryukado. This work faithfully reproduces the natural beauty of Fuji drawn by Hokusai with a handrail woodblock. The printing color is different from the original “Kanagawa Okinami Ura”. As a new expression, this product is intentionally rubbed using a different color. Please consider after acknowledging that. Image 3 is the image on the back side. The show-through of the print dye is proof that it is not printing. Forty-six pieces of “Thirty-six Views of Tomitake” make full use of the technique of reducing the scenery of the natural world to geometric elements, centering on Mt. Fuji, which has been loved and loved by all Japanese people since ancient times. It is a masterpiece that seeks the fun of group painting with fresh colors, and it can be said that Hokusai’s fifty years of painting work was condensed here. [Work description] The Great Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa Okinamiura) View through waves off the coast of Kanagawa Not only is it one of the three major characters, but there is no other masterpiece known to people like this. How small and dangerous a human boat is during the tumultuous waves of rage. Although the composition is full of thrills, Hokusai is trying to exert human power strongly against the reverse-winding Onami. It seems that Fuji in the distance is quietly watching over it. That is the heart of Hokusai. The depiction of this wave is representative of Hokusai, who was said to be a painter of waves and Fuji.
