Year-end and New Year’s holiday viewing of 100 poems by Katsushika Hokusai
By the mid-Edo period, the Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Tanka of One Hundred Poems) had become popular as a general education. Katsushika Hokusai’s last large-format nishiki-e series, “Hyakunin Isshu Nyumo Kaetoki (One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets),” was published with 27 illustrations, the main purpose of which was to illustrate the poems and their contents. Each of these works expresses Hokusai’s unique worldview by incorporating his own ideas into the general images of poems and poets. This exhibition features 23 paintings from the museum’s “Hyakunin Isshu Nyumo Kaetoki” series, as well as a wide range of works related to the Hyakunin Isshu by Hokusai and his students.
