Belfry roof (or Belfry roofs)

by Hokusai

-

This sketch shows the lovely and intricate patterns produced by the tiles and ridgepoles of temple buildings. The ornamental devices hanging from each corner of the roof are bells, traditional on many Buddhist temple buildings. It is interesting to note that the contemporary woodblock artist Jun'ichiro Sekino (born 1914) has composed a handsome modern color print exclusively from patterns of tiled roofs, catching the rich variety of designs that can be spotted from any second-story window in Japan.

As the Japanese language makes no distinction between singular and plural, it is difficult to know whether the caption for this should be translated "Belfry roof" or Belfry roofs." Obviously the portion shown at the upper left is nothing but a continuation of the right-hand side of the larger roof, but this portion bears the surprising caption "Roof's underside." It is interesting to speculate that perhaps Hokusai drew but a single, continuous roof; that the woodcarver broke this up as we see it in order to fit it on the page as large as possible; and that the publisher, in the way publishers sometimes have, tried to make the sketch even more meaningful by adding the secondary caption.
