| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾 北斎, October or November 1760 - May 10, 1849) was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. He was influenced by such painters as Sesshu, and other styles of Chinese painting. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景, Fugaku Sanjūroku-kei, c. 1831) which includes the internationally recognized print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created during the 1820s."--Wikipedia. Note: "In 1811 the publisher Hirabayashi Shōgorō commissioned this painting from Hokusai to celebrate the completion of the best-selling serial novel Chinsetsu yumihari-zuki ('Strange Tales of the Bow Moon'), which was published in twenty-nine volumes between 1807 and 1811. The text was by a leading popular author, Takizawa Bakin (1767-1848) and the illustrations by Hokusai....Minamoto no Tametomo was a real-life warrior renowned for his bowmanship. This scene, from Bakin's fictionalized account of his exploits, shows three inhabitants of the island of Onigashima all trying in vain to pull his bowstring, while the young hero nonchalantly steadies the bow with one hand."--The British Museum website. http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/asia/k/katsushika_hokusai,_tametomo_a.aspx |
