Hokusai: sulle orme del maestro

Photo credits: arapacis.it

Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾 北斎?; Edo, ottobre o novembre 1760 – Edo, 10 maggio 1849) è stato un pittore e incisore giapponese, conosciuto principalmente per le sue opere in stile ukiyo-e. Quest’ultimo è un genere di stampa artistica giapponese su carta, impressa con matrici di legno, fiorita nel periodo Edo.

Con una carriera lunga più di sessant’anni dove ha esplorato varie forme d’arte, è noto al pubblico soprattutto grazie alle sue famosissime ‘Cento vedute del monte Fuji’. In particolare la ‘Grande onda di Kanagawa’,diventata simbolo di questa raccolta, è ormai parte della cultura di massa. I suoi lavori non solo hanno fatto il giro del mondo ma sono stati una fonte di ispirazione per molti impressionisti europei come Claude Monet, e molti post-impressionisti come Vincent van Gogh e Paul Gauguin.

Da qualche anno a questa parte, l’Italia sta ospitando varie mostre dedicate a questo grandioso artista. Prima a Milano presso il Museo del ‘900 e ora a Roma. Infatti, dal 12 ottobre 2017 al 14 gennaio 2018, presso il museo dell’Ara Pacis, le opere di Hokusai saranno disponibili al pubblico in una mostra chiamata “Sulle orme del Maestro”. Una grande mostra che racconta e mette a confronto circa 200 opere della produzione del maestro Hokusai con quelle degli artisti che hanno seguito le sue orme.

L’esposizione tenutasi al Palazzo Reale a Milano precede quella tenutasi al British Museum di Londra, e ora anche nella capitale Italiana si possono ammirare le opere provenienti da diversi musei e collezioni. Tra gli altri, il Chiba City Museum of Art, e importanti collezionisti giapponesi come Uragami Mitsuru Collection e Kawasaki Isago no Sato Museum, oltre che dal Museo d’arte Orientale Edoardo Chiossone di Genova.

Come accennavamo prima, questa esposizione racconta e confronta la produzione del Maestro Hokusai con quella di alcuni degli artisti che hanno seguito le sue orme, creando così nuove linee, nuove forme, nuovi colori e un nuovo filone dell’ukiyo-e.

Passando dalla natura agli attori kabuki, dalle bellezze femminili ai guerrieri, sino ad arrivare alle immagini di fantasmi, spiriti ed esseri semi-leggendari, questi saranno i soggetti che i visitatori troveranno nella mostra.
Le tecniche e i formati che il maestro Hokusai ha usato per le sue opere sono molto varie. Da dipinti a inchiostro e colore su rotolo verticale o orizzontale, alle silografie policrome di ogni misura, sino ai raffinatissimi surimono. Questi ultimi venivano usati come biglietti augurali, inviti, cerimonie da tè e molto altro.

Dal comunicato stampa della mostra possiamo leggere che l’esposizione si compone di cinque sezioni che toccheranno i temi più alla moda e maggiormente richiesti dal mercato dell’epoca:

1- MEISHŌ: mete da non perdere

Presenta le serie più famose di Hokusai: le Trentasei vedute del Monte Fuji, le Otto vedute di Ōmi, i tre volumi sulle Cento vedute del Fuji e un dipinto su rotolo del Monte Fuji, presentato per la prima volta in Italia e in anteprima assoluta.

Questa sezione illustra le mete di viaggio e i luoghi celebri che un giapponese di epoca Edo non doveva assolutamente perdere o perlomeno doveva conoscere: cascate, ponti e luoghi naturali delle province più lontane, vedute del monte Fuji da località rinomate, locande e ristoranti e stazioni di posta lungo la via del Tōkaidō che collegava Edo (Tokyo) a Kyoto.

Non manca la “Grande Onda” di Hokusai, che si potrà apprezzare in ben due versioni differenti, che si alterneranno a metà del periodo espositivo per motivi conservativi: una proveniente dal Museo d’Arte Orientale Edoardo Chiossone di Genova, l’altra dalla collezione Kawasaki Isago no Sato Museum, così come tante altre importanti silografie della serie Trentasei vedute del Monte Fuji confrontabili in doppia versione.

2- Beltà alla moda

Una serie di notevoli dipinti su rotolo e silografie policrome dedicate al ritratto di beltà femminili e cortigiane delle famose case da tè del rinomato quartiere di piacere di Yoshiwara mettono a confronto lo stile del maestro Hokusai con quello di alcuni tra i suoi allievi più famosi tra cui Gessai Utamasa, Ryūryūkyō Shinsai, Hokumei, Teisai Hokuba.

In particolare si sottolinea la novità della composizione di Keisai Eisen, grande personalità nel campo del ritratto femminile, che redige un vero reportage di moda, avvolgendo le sue donne e mettendole in posa così da evidenziarne i kimono e gli obi imponenti, i tessuti raffinatissimi dai motivi ricercati, coloratissimi e sempre studiati nel particolare più minuto.

In questo contesto è stata pensata anche una piccola ma raffinata raccolta di immagini legate alla seduzione e al mondo del piacere e dell’erotismo che mettono a confronto Hokusai ed Eisen attraverso silografie “pericolose” (abunae), in cui si intuiscono situazioni di scambio amoroso senza svelarne l’aspetto sessuale, sublimato attraverso la bellezza di stoffe e abiti che coprono i corpi e fanno sognare, e le famose pagine del volume erotico di Hokusai “Kinoe no Komatsu”.

3- Fortuna e buon augurio

Nel formato della silografia, di Eisen in questo caso, e attraverso una serie di undici dipinti su rotolo di Hokusai che rappresentano le divinità popolari della fortuna, si evince uno dei soggetti in voga all’epoca come portafortuna, protezione, augurio per occasioni speciali. Tutte opere esposte per la prima volta in Italia.

4- Catturare l’essenza della natura

Hokusai e allievi a confronto attraverso una serie di dipinti su rotolo provenienti dal Giappone sul tema della natura e degli animali per sottolineare i motivi classici della pittura di “fiori e uccelli” e la valenza simbolica di alcuni animali quali il drago, la tigre, la carpa, il gallo riproposti nello stile di ciascun artista.

5- Manga e manuali per imparare

La serie completa dei 15 volumi di Manga di Hokusai sono esposti in questa sezione e rimandano ai tratti e alla forza che il maestro sa dare a ogni creatura che decide di rappresentare ma anche alla sua volontà di insegnare le regole della pittura ad artisti e appassionati. A fianco dei volumi di Hokusai, un album dell’allievo Shotei ripercorre i soggetti e le forme del maestro proponendo pagine simili fitte di disegni e schizzi.

Le 100 Vedute del Monte Fuji ad Arcore

Allo stesso momento, dopo il grande successo della mostra a Milano, Hokusai ritorna in Lombardia e questa volta ad Arcore. Sabato 7 ottobre è stata inaugurata la mostra a ingresso libero dal titolo “HOKUSAI. 100 vedute del Fuji. Cento modi per parlare di Dio senza mai nominarlo”. L’esibizione a cura di Bruno Gallotta e Alberto Moioli ha sede presso le Scuderie di Villa Borromeo e permetterà al pubblico di vedere 102 immagini create dalla mano del grande artista giapponese.

Questa mostra racconta dell’interpretazione spirituale che l’artista giapponese ha inconsciamente (o volutamente) inserito nelle sue opere.

“È ormai accertato che Hokusai fu un fedele buddista ed è altrettanto certo che fu una persona colta: sapeva bene quindi che “FU NI”, oltre ad essere uno dei modi possibili per scrivere il nome del famoso vulcano, è un’espressione particolarmente significativa del buddismo Mahàyanà cui appartengono tutte le tradizioni buddiste diffuse in Cina e Giappone”, affermano gli organizzatori.
“Questa mostra si prefigge il compito di dimostrare che il monte Fuji assunto da Hokusai come simbolo spirituale e chiamato “FU NI” contempla entrambe le accezioni. A tale scopo sono state approntate, per i visitatori interessati, alcune copie del testo esegetico disponibili per la consultazione gratuita”.

Grazie al patrocinio dell’Ufficio Europeo del Buddhismo Zen (Soto), arriva finalmente ad Arcore dopo aver toccato Lodi nel 2015 e Piacenza nel 2016 come parte delle celebrazioni per i 150 anni di relazioni fra Italia e Giappone.

La mostra è aperta solo sabato e domenica dalle 10 alle 19.

Hokusai: In the footsteps of the master

Photo credits: arapacis.it

Katsushika Hokusai (葛 飾 北 斎?, Edo, October or November 1760 – Edo, May 10, 1849) was a Japanese painter and engraver, mainly known for his ukiyo-e works. This is an art genre typical of Japan and it consists of a print on paper with a wooden mold, thriving in the Edo period.

With a career over sixty years long where he explored various forms of art, he is known by the public mainly thanks to his famous ‘Hundred views of Mount Fuji’. In particular the “Kanagawa Great Wave”, which has become the symbol of this collection, is now part of the mass culture. His works not only spread all over the world, but have also been a source of inspiration for many European impressionist artists such as Claude Monet, and many post-Impressionists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin.

For some years now, Italy has been hosting several exhibitions dedicated to this great artist. First in Milan at the Museo del ‘900 and now in Rome. In fact, from October 12, 2017 to January 14, 2018, at the Ara Pacis Museum, Hokusai’s works will be available to the public in an exhibition called “In The Footsteps of the Master”. A great display that illustrates and compares about 200 works from Master Hokusai’s production with those of the artists that followed in his footsteps.

The exhibition held at the Royal Palace in Milan preceded the one held at the British Museum in London, and now in the Italian capital it is possible to admire works gathered from different museums and collections. Among others, the Chiba City Museum of Art, and important Japanese collectors like Uragami Mitsuru Collection and Kawasaki Isago no Sato Museum, as well as the Museo d’arte Orientale Edoardo Chiossone in Genoa.

As we mentioned before, this exhibition illustrates and compares Master Hokusai’s production with that of some of the artists who followed in his footsteps, creating new lines, new shapes, new colors, and a new ukiyo-e school.

From nature to kabuki actors, from female beauties to warriors, arriving to the imagery of ghosts, spirits and semi-legendary beings, these will be the themes that visitors will find on display. The techniques and formats Hokusai used for his works varies greatly. From ink and color painting realised on vertical or horizontal scrolls, to polychromatic xylographies of all sizes, to the finest surimi. The latter were used as greeting cards, invitations for tea ceremonies and more.

Photo credits: arapacis.it

From the press release of the exhibition, we can read that the showcase consists of five sections that will cover the most fashionable and most sought themes from the market of the time:

1- MEISHŌ: places not to be missed

It features the most famous series of Hokusai: the Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji, the Eight views of Ōmi, the three volumes on the Hundred views of Fuji and a scroll painting of Mount Fuji, presented for the first time in Italy and in absolute preview.

This section illustrates travel destinations and famous places that a Japanese of the Edo period shouldn’t absolutely miss or at least had to know: waterfalls, bridges and natural places of the faraway provinces, views of Mount Fuji from renowned spots, inns and restaurants, and postal towns along the Tōkaido road that connected Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto.

There is also Hokusai’s “Great Wave”, which can be appreciated in two different versions that will be alternated halfway through the exposition for conservative reasons: one from the Museo d’arte Orientale Edoardo Chiossone of Genoa, the other from the Kawasaki Isago no Sato Museum collection, as well as many other important xyloghaphies of the Thirty-eight views of Mount Fuji comparable in their double version..

2- Fashionable beauty

A series of remarkable scroll paintings and polygraphic xylographies dedicated to the portraits of female beauties and courtesans from the famous tea houses in Yoshiwara’s renowned entertainment district compares the style of master Hokusai with that of some of his most famous students including Gessai Utamasa, Ryūryūkyō Shinsai, Hokumei, Teisai Hokuba.

In particular, it underlines the novelty of Keisai Eisen’s composition, great personality in the field of female portrait, that draws a true fashion reportage, wrapping up his women and putting them in a position able to highlight their kimonos and imposing obi, refined fabrics with elegant motifs, very colorful and always designed down to the smallest detail.

In this context, it has also been included a small but sophisticated collection of images linked to seduction and the world of pleasure and eroticism, that compares Hokusai with Eisen through “dangerous”  (abunae) xyloghraphies, in which  some love-exchange situations can be perceived without revealing its sexual aspect, sublimated through the beauty of fabrics and clothes that cover the bodies and make the audience dream, as well as the famous pages of Hokusai’s erotic volume “Kinoe no Komatsu”.

3- Fortune and good deed

In a xylography format, belonging to Eisen in this case, and through a series of eleven scroll paintings by Hokusai representing people’s divinities of fortune, the audience can see some of the most popular subjects of the time like charms, protections, wish for special occasions. All works exhibited for the first time in Italy.

4- Capture the essence of nature

A comparison between Hokusai and his students through a series of scroll paintings from Japan on the theme of nature and animals to emphasize the classic motifs of painting with “flowers and birds”, and the symbolic value of some animals such as dragon, tiger, carp, rooster reproposed in the style of each artist.

5- Manga and manuals to learn

The complete series of 15 volumes of Hokusai’s Mangas are displayed in this section and it refer to the traits and the strength that the master is able to give to every creature he decides to represent, but also to his will to teach the rules of painting to artists and enthusiasts. Beside Hokusai’s volumes, an album of his student Shotei retraces subjects and forms of his master offering similar pages full of drawings and sketches.

The 100 views of Mount Fuji in Arcore

At the same time, after the great success of the exhibition in Milan, Hokusai returns to Lombardy and this time comes to Arcore.  The free entrance exhibition entitled “HOKUSAI. 100 views of Fuji. One hundred ways to talk about God without ever naming him” inaugurated on Saturday, October 7. The exhibition organised by Bruno Gallotta and Alberto Moioli is hosted by the Scuderie of Villa Borromeo and will allow the public to see 102 images created by the hand of the great Japanese artist.

Photo credits: wikipedia.org 

This exhibition illustrates the spiritual interpretation that the Japanese artist has unconsciously (or deliberately) inserted into his works.

“It has been proven that Hokusai was a faithful Buddhist and is equally certain that he was an educated person: so he knew well that “FU NI”, as well as being one of the possible ways to write the name of the famous volcano, is a particularly significant expression of the Mahayana Buddhism from which derived all the Buddhist traditions that spread in China and Japan”, the organisers say.
“This exhibition aims to demonstrate that the Mount Fuji used by Hokusai as a spiritual symbol and called “FU NI” contemplates both meanings. For this purpose, for interested visitors, some copies of the exegetical text have been prepared and are available for free consultation”.

Thanks to the sponsorship of the European Office of Zen Buddhism (Soto), the showcase finally comes to Arcore after having touched Lodi in 2015 and Piacenza in 2016 as part of the celebrations for 150 years of relationship between Italy and Japan.

The exhibition is open only on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 7pm.
