EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "New Year Custom: Wish for a New Years Auspicious Dream" takes us back to the Edo period in Japan, specifically around 1806-11. Created by the renowned artist Hokusai, this ink and color on silk masterpiece measures an impressive 200.6x58.6 cm and is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution, USA. The artwork belongs to the Ukiyo-e school, known for its depiction of everyday life during that era. In this particular piece, we see a beautifully dressed woman wearing traditional attire called kimono while engaging in a tea ceremony. The interior setting exudes tranquility and elegance as she delicately pours tea into a small cup. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous brushwork and vibrant use of colors. The composition invites viewers to immerse themselves in this cultural tradition where wishes for an auspicious dream were made during New Year celebrations. Thanks to Charles Lang Freer's generous gift, this remarkable artwork continues to be preserved and admired by visitors from all over the world at the Freer Gallery of Art. It serves as a timeless reminder of Japan's rich history and artistic heritage during one of its most celebrated periods - truly capturing both beauty and tradition within a single frame.
