The artwork is a woodblock print, not a painting per-se. Each color has a separate carved wood block, and they were used kind of like stamps in sequence to make the composite picture. This was so the pictures could be created and sold in large amounts. They are "prints", but not in the same sense of an oil painting "print" ( made from newer 20th century technology ). The woodblock printing method predates contemporary mass-printing methods. The original image had to be design / drafted within the limitations of what can be carved, and what ink colors could be used. So there are more levels to appreciate it, from a conceptual / artistic perspective, and from a technical and collaborative perspective. Multiple people worked on the picture. Design, Carving, and Printing.
This ties in with with the part where Raden is talking about the importance of the picture being 'made to sell'. As I understand it, woodblock prints were almost like early mass media in Japan. They were often used to advertise things like Kabuki theater. Hence, there was focus on 'grabbing eyeballs' and having a broad appeal in order to compete and be popular.
It was originally a painting as far as I understand it though, it is destroyed in the process of making the woodblock but the original is lost entirely There is a small museum devoted to Hokusai in Ryogoku Tokyo that is worth visiting. Anyone interested should check it out. it's a great area for tourism In Atami, on the castle there (amazing view), there is a museum inside that has some of Hokusai's erotica too. In Nagasaki's largest art museum, they house some of Hokusai's coolest works IMO. There is a "triptych" type arrangement of a sun, a moon, and a dragon which deserves to be more well known and is a super modern piece of art, it feels ahead of its time
By the way, I want to recommend Dave Bull's Twitch channel JapanesePrintmaking. He's a guy who's been making woodblock prints from his shop in Asakusa, Tokyo for some 45 years. He streams while working and is usually happy to answer any questions about printmaking and the daily life in Asakusa. Very interesting stuff.
Hey man, I seriously appreciate you translating these Raden segments to give overseas fans access to the high level content that she makes. I really hope that she knows that overseas fans also enjoy this kind of content. I really like the diversity of creatorship seen in Hololive and I want to encourage it whenever possible. Translating segments like this help with that.
Thanks for starting a Raden channel! Stuff like this is awesome and unique content in the stuff that typically gets a TL clip. After she gave the explanation on Fujiko and the trend of buying paintings of Mt Fuji to keep its presence nearby, I couldn't help but think about stuff like Mochidoru Sui and resin figures. The culture runs so deep xD
Ooohhh thank you for this!! finally a Raden dedicated clipper!! She’s really good at storytelling, so i've been interested in her stream for a long time 😮 And her content is quite refreshing for me!
I am learning so much from this. I've worn clothes that has this artwork on them but I never really knew the details and intent behind it. Thank you Raden chan
Thank you for the Art Class. Raden has because my Komi Oshi even though i can understand absolutely ZERO of what she says. Her energy alone draws me in, but its clipers like you that allow me to truly enjoy her content.
Thank you so much for creating this channel...! As an artist myself, I'm glad that you can share with us the various in-depth commentary from Raden-san about art. It's very enlightening and it really makes me appreciate her even more.💖
Raden: Why do you think they included Fujiyama in here? Me: The artist likely wanted to express the sheer power of the wave, towering over the symbolic Mount. Fuji and making it look small in comparison. Raden: Because it needed to sell and people like Fujiyama and wanted to keep it around! Me, an uncultured swine: oh ok
0:32 What if I tell you, I _have_ seen it... in a cyberpunk conversion of a Doom II mod? No, I'm not kidding, it's "Doomer Boards Projects 37: AUGER;ZENITH" if y'all wanna check. It appears pretty often in billboards and big monitors, as part of the Japanese influence in the cyberpunk motif. Fan gaming is also culture c:
Appreciate the efforts into these videos. Recently discovered Raden is an Art Major is keen to view more of her content. Just one note that when translating Mount Fuji back to Japanese they don’t refer to it as Fujiyama I believe - it should be Fuji-san.
Thanks for taking the time to translate this section, i would suggest try to put the subtitles on top or making it smaller, i struggle a little bit trying to see what she was pointing at 😅 How ever i appreciate you time and effort put in here 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Ooh I love that you translate Radens Public Domain segments!
To many clips just show her as a chain smoking alcoholic which really is not fair.
Raden clip and Statsky TL both are great channels for this. They show the _real_ Raden.
cool to see this side of her.
she got a bad first impression with said clips
@@DinnerForkTongueis raden clip a JP channel?
@@DinnerForkTonguealso _dk is an amazing art lessons clipper

In summary it's a hanko printing with different layer of colors
Raden is so cultured
Unless I'm missing something from the Stars side, she may very well be the best art critic in all of Holo.
There's a picture of Debussy in his room with the japanense prints hung up on his wall.

Cool. I respect clippers like you that show a side of the girls not usually shown in other clips. Subbed
I am learning so much from this. I've worn clothes that has this artwork on them but I never really knew the details and intent behind it. Thank you Raden chan

I didn't expected to fall in love.
Id love to chat whit her for hours about art and anything falling into public domain.
I live for her clips. Thanks for translating!
Omg thanks for the clip, didn't know she made content like this!
Thank you so much for the translations, never get sick of listening to her nerd out about art
Thanks for the translate. I really appreciate your work!

I didn't know she did art irterpretation streams!! Thank you for these clips!!
A collage of various wave expressions... that's like fgo hokusai's np, hitting 1 wave at a time 😗
Oh shes a curator, this is interesting...
Thanks for these i really love these
Raden: Why do you think they included Fujiyama in here?
Me: The artist likely wanted to express the sheer power of the wave, towering over the symbolic Mount. Fuji and making it look small in comparison.
Raden: Because it needed to sell and people like Fujiyama and wanted to keep it around!
Me, an uncultured swine: oh ok

I gotta get on this Big Wave
cultured raden

Raiden Art Class
So the main thing I learned today is to stop sleeping on Raden. Very cool stuff.
tanks
Very nice vids too
Great Wave? Thats just Kobo's hair.
Best FGO Noble Phantasm!
It looks like Kobos hair (this is likely not an accident)
4:05 Out of curiosity, is there a reason why the subtitles say "Fujiyama" when she's clearly saying "Fujisan"?
I do not have a reason. I language skills aren't good . "Fujiyama" and "Fujisan" refer to the same thing.
the top of the wave looks like finger/creepy hands as its about to grab the boat dragging it into water
I’ve seen this, Uniqlo collab UT and kobo.
Thanks for taking the time to translate this section, i would suggest try to put the subtitles on top or making it smaller, i struggle a little bit trying to see what she was pointing at 😅
How ever i appreciate you time and effort put in here 🫡🫡🫡🫡
