This lavishly illustrated, oversized (17" x 10") book brings together the last major print series of the celebrated Japanese artist Hokusai (1760-1849) and the Japanese poetry that inspired these beautiful prints.
Whether showing semi-nude women abalone divers struggling with their catch while a male crew of shriveled old salts leers from a nearby boat, or the carefree rapture of a leisurely group of men and women observing cherry blossoms at their peak, Hokusai captures, with drama and delicacy, sublime and ridiculous states. The artist's simplicity, though deceptive, is also remarkable: he illustrates a poem about a lovers' seaside tryst with a magnificently imposing yet unadorned sailing vessel, its small window offering a coy glimpse of the fortunate couple inside.
Each of the 111 color prints (as well as 41 black-and-white sketches of projected prints apparently never completed) is accompanied by the poem, in Japanese and English, a biographical note on the poet and by Peter Morse's comments on literary and artistic intention and execution.

Book Description: Braziller. 1 Cloth(s), 2007. hard. Book Condition: New. A highly literate man with a lifelong affinity for books, 19th-century Japanese artist Hokusai was well equipped to appreciate the subtleties of the works included in the One Hundred Poets anthology, a body of literature integral to Japanese art and culture since the 13th century. Not content to render simple illustrations, the artist looked for ways to convey the work's ambiguous language and layers of meaning on themes of nature, the seasons, and love. Thus Hokusai only completed 27 prints, and his drawings and designs for another 62 images were ignored until the modern era. In this handsome 14 x 10-inch edition, with 41 color plates and 70 black and white illustrations, Peter Morse examines the series in the context of Hokusai's work. A connoisseur of Japanese prints at work on a catalog raisonné of Hokusai, Morse provides a detailed summary of the poetry and an interpretation of the illustration in his commentaries. 222.
