In this woodcut print by the renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai, titled "Kemari suru sankanjo, Three women playing foot ball" we are transported to a vibrant scene filled with energy and joy. Created between 1801 and 1804, this artwork showcases three graceful women engaging in the ancient Japanese sport of kemari. Measuring at 17.7 x 24.4 cm, the print is bursting with color and intricate details that bring life to each character. The delicate lines of Hokusai's woodcut technique beautifully capture the fluid movements of the players as they skillfully kick a small ball back and forth. Hokusai was known for his mastery in depicting everyday scenes from Japanese culture, often showcasing ordinary people engaged in various activities. In this particular work, he celebrates not only the athleticism but also the camaraderie among these female athletes. The composition exudes a sense of harmony as these women gracefully interact with one another while maintaining their focus on the game. It serves as a reminder that sports can transcend gender boundaries and provide an avenue for empowerment and self-expression. This remarkable piece from Katsushika Hokusai's extensive body of work is a testament to his artistic genius and ability to capture fleeting moments frozen in time. As viewers, we are invited into this lively world where three women find solace, strength, and enjoyment through their shared passion for football.
