This is the most famoust and the most popular Shunga-cho of Hokusai, created in 1814, at his age of 54. In the twelve big-scale multi-color prints vividly depicted are a man and a woman making love in the bold formalized style.
According to the description in the left above, the woman is scolding the man who got exausted after the three consecutive loves, saying like, "if you are a man, show me your stamina". She also blamed the man, saying like, "you are like a catapiller lying on my belly."
Folds, repaired holes, lined with Washi paper, slightly worn and soiled.
Katsushika Hokusai (October or November 1760–May 10, 1849 was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. In his time, he was Japan's leading expert on Chinese painting. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best-known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (c. 1831) which includes the iconic and internationally recognized print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created during the 1820s. Hokusai created the "Thirty-Six Views" both as a response to a domestic travel boom and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji. It was this series, specifically The Great Wave print and Fuji in Clear Weather, that secured Hokusai’s fame both within Japan and overseas. As historian Richard Lane concludes, “Indeed, if there is one work that made Hokusai's name, both in Japan and abroad, it must be this monumental print-series...”While Hokusai's work prior to this series is certainly important, it was not until this series that he gained broad recognition and left a lasting impact on the art world. It was also The Great Wave print that initially received, and continues to receive, acclaim and popularity in the Western world. |
