Crane and Waves

Crane and Waves

波と鶴の図は中国画からの伝統的な画題で「一品当朝」とも呼ばれます。上位の文官の着物の模様が鶴だったこと、そして朝廷を表す「朝」の音を「潮」に通わせることで、一流の官人となり朝廷に上るという意味を持たせたおめでたい画題です。鶴の体と岩が描く弧と、波が描く弧が前後に重なり、遠近感が生み出されています。まっすぐ伸びた嘴や足が、画中に縦の平行線を想像させ安定感を呼びます。広重の豊かなバランス感覚が発揮された一枚です。

Hiroshige was born in 1797, the time when Ukiyo-e was at the height of popularity. He was good at painting since his childhood. At fifteen, through introduction of a certain book dealer, he became a pupil of Utagawa Toyohiro, and was given the artist name Utagawa Hiroshige the following year. The essential characteristic of Hiroshige’s art lies in its poetic atmosphere, which in fact is the characteristic of the Japanese heart. When this lyricism is given free play, there is beautiful music in the picture.
