- Description
In summer, algae grow in rivers, lakes and other bodies of water. Algae disturb water flow and boat movement, so we launched a boat and cut the algae. A “mogari-bune” is a boat used when cutting algae. It is one of the features of summertime in Japan and is the subject of the painting. A “mogari-bune” is painted to pray for a thriving business because of its similarity in pronunciation to the word “moukaru” (to make money).
Seika Tatsumoto is a famous expert sketch artist. He has an aptitude for identifying the characteristics of an object quickly and expressing them. This is a painting of mogari-bune in the summer evening. It is surprising that it took him only 5 minutes to perfect this piece. However, this work didn’t become coarse and rough. The depiction of the people is wonderful, and even sunburn is expressed. This shows the true worth of his painting.
