騎手と馬具
1817
Think of this page from Hokusai's *Manga* (Volume 6, 1817) as a 19th-century flat-lay photo for equestrian gear mixed with an action movie storyboard. On the left, the artist meticulously dissects horse equipment—braided reins, patterned saddle pads, and ornate metal fittings—almost like an instruction manual for samurai. The right side bursts into motion, showing riders galloping at full speed and grooms tending to their mounts. Interestingly, the term 'Manga' here doesn't refer to modern comic books, but rather 'whimsical sketches' intended as a visual encyclopedia for other artists to learn from.
