    <meta charset="UTF-8" />Japanese landscape print by Katsushika Hokusai entitled "Tokusagari", from the series translated as "True Mirror of Chinese and Japanese Poems", "Shiika shashinkyo" in Japanese. We can see a farmer crossing a bridge, returning home at dusk after harvesting rushes.
    The colors are bright and fresh, the gradients of quality. This is a very beautiful reissue from the Shōwa era produced according to traditional Japanese methods of print production, in the rules of the art of ukiyo-e. It is always very pleasant to feel the relief of the wooden ink pads, when passing your hand over this print, photo 5 aims to show this relief and the quality of the washi paper used.
    Very good condition, Shōwa era, Japan.

    On the series "Shiika shashinkyo" by Katsushika Hokusai:
    The "Shiika shashinkyo" series by Katsushika Hokusai is a collection of prints that illustrate Chinese and Japanese poems. Each print in the series is a seamless fusion of poetry and visual art, showcasing Hokusai's versatile talent as an artist and poet. The combination of these two forms of expression creates a unique aesthetic experience.

    Each print features a poem, often accompanied by its original writing in Chinese or Japanese characters, and is complemented by an artistic illustration created by Hokusai. The images are characterized by fine details, mastery of lines and creativity in the representation of poetic themes. The series reflects the profound influence of Chinese and Japanese poetry on Hokusai's art.

    Although less well known than some of his other series, such as "The Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," "Shiika shashinkyo" offers a captivating look at how Hokusai interprets and visually translates the poetic intricacies of Chinese and Japanese cultures. It is an artistic exploration that demonstrates the depth of his understanding and appreciation of the literary traditions of Asia.
