In the foreground to the left, we see the meticulous grooming of the horse that will carry those goods to market. While the man rubs the beast's flank on a wooden tub, a woman adjusts the saddle (on the saddlecloth drying, the auspicious inscription \u003cem\u003e“shiawase-kichi”\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning “happiness and fortune”), while a small child playfully peers through the handle of a bucket.\u003cbr\u003eTobacco was introduced to Japan around 1573 by Dutch or Portuguese sailors and in 1604 it began to be cultivated in the fields of Nagasaki. Soon prohibited (as its use, requiring fire for lighting, became a source of dangerously dangerous fire outbreaks in a country where houses were built of paper and wood), it was smuggled as “life tea.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51994003145051,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/8110\/3766\/files\/HokusaiKatsushikaOneHundredViewsofMountFuji26.jpg?v=1767639037","url":"https:\/\/www.elenasalamon.com\/en\/products\/hokusai-katsushika-cento-vedute-del-monte-fuji-n-26-1834","provider":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
