Bamboescherm schelp, Katsushika Hokusai
Summary
Drie vrouwen maken schermen van bamboe (sudare). Eén vrouw sorteert de bamboe latjes, de ander zet het scherm in elkaar en de derde vrouw naait er een stoffen zoom omeen. Met twee gedichten. De schelp waar de titel naar verwijst is afgebeeld in het waaiervormige cartouche.
A cartouche or cartouch is an oval design with a slightly convex surface, typically edged with ornamental scrollwork. It is used to hold a painted or low relief design. In Early Modern design, since the early 16th century, the cartouche is a scrolling frame device, derived originally from Italian cartoccia. Such cartouches are characteristically stretched, pierced and scrolling (illustration, left). Another cartouche figures prominently in the title page of Giorgio Vasari's Lives, framing a minor vignette with a device of pierced and scrolling papery cartoccia.
Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period best known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景 Fugaku Sanjūroku-kei, c. 1831) which includes the internationally iconic print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
