  • Nature and Culture in Visual Communication: Japanese Variations on Ludus Naturae
    Semiotica 2016; aop Massimo Leone* Nature and culture in visual communication: Japanese variations on Ludus Naturae DOI 10.1515/sem-2015-0145 Abstract: The neurophysiology of vision and cognition shapes the way in which human beings visually “read” the environment. A biological instinct, probably selected as adaptive through evolution, pushes them to recognize coherent shapes in chaotic visual patterns and to impute the creation of these shapes to an anthropomorphic agency. In the west as in the east, in Italy as in Japan, human beings have identified faces, bodies, and landscapes in the bizarre chromatic, eidetic, and topologic configurations of stones, clouds, and other natural elements, as though invisible painters and sculptors had depicted the former in the latter. However, culture-specific visual ideologies immediately and deeply mold such cross-cultural instinct of pattern recognition and agency attribution. Giants and mythical monsters are seen in clouds in the west as in the east; both the Italian seventeenth-century naturalist and the Japanese seventeenth-century painter identify figures of animals and plants in stones. And yet, the ways in which they articulate the semantics of this visual recogni- tion, identify its icons, determine its agency, and categorize it in relation to an ontological framework diverge profoundly, according to such exquisitely paths of differentiation that only the study of culture, together with that of nature, can account for. Keywords: semiotics, visual communication, visual signification, pareidolia, Japanese aesthetics, agency Quapropter cum has convenientias quas dicis infidelibus quasi quasdam picturas rei gestae obtendimus, quoniam non rem gestam, sed figmentum arbitrantur esse, quod credimus quasi super nubem pingere nos existimant… (Anselm of Aosta, Cur Deus Homo,I,4) *Corresponding author: Massimo Leone, University of Turin, Department of Philosophy, Via S.

  • Katsushika Hokusai Born in 1760 and Died in 1849 in Edo, Japan
    1 Excerpted from Kathleen Krull, Lives of the Artists, 1995, 32 – 35. OLD MAN MAD ABOUT DRAWING KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI BORN IN 1760 AND DIED IN 1849 IN EDO, JAPAN Japanese painter and printmaker, known for his enormous influence on both Eastern and Western art THE MAN HISTORY knows as Katsushika Hokusai was born in the Year of the Dragon in the bustling city now known as Tokyo. After working for eight stormy years in the studio of a popular artist who resented the boy's greater skill, Hokusai was finally thrown out. At first he earned his daily bowl of rice as a street peddler, selling red peppers and ducking if he saw his old teacher coming. Soon he was illustrating comic books, then turning out banners, made-to-order greeting cards for the rich, artwork for novels full of murders and ghosts, and drawings of scenes throughout his beloved Edo. Changing one's name was a Japanese custom, but Hokusai carried it to an extreme—he changed his more than thirty times. No one knows why. Perhaps he craved variety, or was self-centered (thinking that every change in his art style required a new identity), or merely liked being eccentric. One name he kept longer than most was Hokusai, meaning "Star of the Northern Constellation," in honor of a Buddhist god he especially revered. He did like variety in dwellings. Notorious for never cleaning his studio, he took the easy way out whenever the place became too disgustingly dirty: he moved. Hokusai moved a total of ninety-three times—putting a burden on his family and creating a new set of neighbors for himself at least once a year.

  • Utagawa Hiroshige
    Utagawa Hiroshige Contemporary Landscapes Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese: 歌川 広重), also Andō Hiroshige (Japanese: 安藤 広重; 1797 – 12 October 1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his landscapes, such as the series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō; and for his depictions of birds and flowers. The subjects of his work were atypical of the ukiyo-e genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the urban pleasure districts of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868). The popular Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series by Hokusai was a strong influence on Hiroshige's choice of subject, though Hiroshige's approach was more poetic and ambient than Hokusai's bolder, more formal prints. For scholars and collectors, Hiroshige's death marked the beginning of a rapid decline in the ukiyo-e genre, especially in the face of the westernization that followed the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Hiroshige's work came to have a marked influence on Western painting towards the close of the 19th century as a part of the trend in Japonism. Western artists closely studied Hiroshige's compositions, and some, such as van Gogh, painted copies of Hiroshige's prints. Hiroshige was born in 1797 in the Yayosu Quay section of the Yaesu area in Edo (modern Tokyo).[1] He was of a samurai background,[1] and was the great-grandson of Tanaka Tokuemon, who held a position of power under the Tsugaru clan in the northern province of Mutsu.

    Katsushika Hokusai and Henri Rivière An Inspired Connection Photographie du peintre Henri Rivière, Xavier Sébillot Japanese artist Hokusai and French artist Henri Rivière lived in very different places. Although they never met to talk about life, beauty, and art, they shared many connections. Self-Portrait, Hokusai Hokusai’s artwork was an inspiration to Henri Rivière and many other European artists including Pierre Bonnard, Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, and Vincent Van Gogh. They admired the bold designs, intense colors, and flat areas of pure color, as well as the elegant and simple lines of the Japanese prints. Hokusai Vincent Van Gogh Can you find connections between the artwork of Hokusai and Henri Rivière? Look carefully at these two woodblock prints. How are they similar? What do they have in common? Both of these artists were inspired by the beauty of the landscape and the everyday life of ordinary people. They added interest to their woodblock prints by portraying the foreground, middle ground, and background with varying proportions, and adding depth and perspective to the scenes they created. It is easy to see how Hokusai’s artwork inspired Rivière, but the connection does not end there. Both artists shared a passion for discovering beauty in the landscape, including elements of nature that can Bridge and the Moon, Hokusai (detail) be observed over and over – for example, the moon.

  • Hokusai's Great Wave Enters the Anthropocene
    Environmental Humanities, vol. 7, 2015, pp. 203-217 www.environmentalhumanities.org ISSN: 2201-1919 COMMENTARY Hokusai’s Great Wave Enters the Anthropocene Stefan Helmreich Anthropology, MIT, USA Katsushika Hokusai’s 1829 woodblock print, “Under the Wave off Kanagawa,” is the world’s most iconic portrait of ocean waves. It has been reproduced, quoted, and repurposed over the last two centuries in a widening circle of representations of the unruly, powerful sea. Today’s reimaginings of this storied Japanese image often remark upon the dangerous, damaged state of the contemporary ocean. Such commentaries sometimes refer directly to the 2011 tsunami and to its associated Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster. But adaptations of Hokusai’s Wave these days also increasingly point to more general anxieties about catastrophic climate change and to worries about ocean pollution, acidification, and plastification. In such usages, the Wave operates as a synecdoche for, a symbolic capture of, the difficult-to-apprehend vastness of the ever-moving, interconnecting, and possibly threatening sea.1 Hokusai’s image has thus lately been leveraged into commentaries upon the Anthropocene—a provocative, and, so far, unofficial, geological term that postulates that humans (anthropos) have come to have significant deleterious effects on planetary ecosystems, effects that can be identified not only in the stratigraphic record, but also in the body of Earth’s ocean.2 If “Under the Wave at Kanagawa” (also “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” or, simply, “The Great Wave”) in its early circulations emblematized the historical relation of Japan to the sea and to the transnational connections the sea afforded, re-imaginings today adapt the image to speak to contemporary human-generated global oceanic crisis.

  • Hokusai Manga
    colour a collection Featuring images from the Hokusai Manga collection in the ANU Library Rare Book Collection the okusai anga H collectionM The Australian National University Library holds rich and diverse historic collections that are significant not only for their rarity, but for the continued impact they have on research and researchers worldwide. The ANU Library Colour a collection series showcases our special and rare collections by using historical material in an unusual and creative way, whilst also offering students an outlet to relax and practice mindfulness. This colouring book features selected manga by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), Japanese artist and wood block printmaker from the Edo period, widely known for creating the iconic print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Throughout Hokusai’s life, he had limited contact with the wider world, as Japan had closed borders until the late 1850s. When the borders of Japan opened for the first time in 200 years, Hokusai’s prints were exported in large numbers, initiating Western interest in Japanese manga and influencing styles of Chinese painting and art outside of Japan. The Hokusai Manga, meaning ‘Hokusai’s Sketches’ from the ANU Library Rare Book Collection is a set of ten volumes published between 1814–1878. The style of Hokusai’s Manga is not the continuous storytelling manga that we see today, but rather individual sketches of landscapes, flora, fauna, spirits and everyday life, some reflect a touch of humour. Images are taken from Title: Hokusai manga 北齋 漫画 Place of Publication: Tamaya-chō [Nagoya] 玉屋町 [名古屋] Publisher: Katano Tōshirō, Meiji 11 片野 東四郎, 明治 11 Publishing date: [1878] library.anu.edu.au/record=b2198327 Colouring book published by ANU Library, 2017 .
