Details
This striking diptych is a verified original woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), the master of the Ukiyo-e genre.
Drawn from Volume 9 of the famous Hokusai Manga (Kyu-hen), this piece captures a chaotic and thrilling moment of samurai warfare. The scene depicts two mounted warriors galloping through a hail of falling arrows, while foot soldiers with pikes swarm in the foreground. It perfectly exemplifies Hokusai’s genius for capturing motion and kinetic energy in a static medium.
Unlike many floating prints, this piece comes with exceptional provenance, having been sourced and certified by the reputable Japanese Gallery on Kensington Church Street, London.
Provenance & Framing:
- Certified Authentic: The piece retains its original certification label from the Japanese Gallery (London), confirming the artist, publication volume, and publisher (Toheki-do).
- Classic Presentation: The artwork is presented in a sleek, black gallery frame that accentuates the bold ink lines of the print.
- Float Mounting: The diptych is float-mounted to reveal the edges of the antique paper, highlighting the texture and history of the washi.
