"Fishermen Hauling a Net (Kakinomoto no Hitomaro)" is a distinguished woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, who is celebrated for his significant contributions to the ukiyo-e genre during the Edo period. Hokusai, born in 1760 and active until his death in 1849, is perhaps best known for his series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the iconic "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." However, his extensive body of work encompasses a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, flora and fauna, and scenes of daily life, as well as portraits of historical and literary figures.

This particular print, "Fishermen Hauling a Net (Kakinomoto no Hitomaro)," is part of Hokusai's series "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki), which was created around 1835. The series illustrates classical Japanese poems from the anthology "Hyakunin Isshu," a collection of one hundred waka poems by one hundred poets, compiled by Fujiwara no Teika in the early 13th century. Each print in the series pairs a poem with a corresponding visual scene, often imbued with Hokusai's characteristic dynamism and attention to detail.

The print in question depicts fishermen engaged in the strenuous task of hauling a net, a scene that captures the essence of labor and the connection between humans and nature. The title references Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, a revered poet from the Asuka period, whose works are included in the "Hyakunin Isshu." Although the specific poem by Hitomaro that inspired this print is not explicitly mentioned, the visual representation reflects themes commonly found in his poetry, such as the beauty of nature and the human experience.

Hokusai's masterful use of line and composition in "Fishermen Hauling a Net" exemplifies his ability to convey movement and emotion, drawing the viewer into the scene. The print not only serves as an artistic interpretation of classical literature but also as a testament to Hokusai's enduring legacy in the world of Japanese art.
