Designer: Katsushika Hokusai Era: Post-war | Currency: $ / £ / € Price: Description: A kachoga print by Hokusai from an untitled series known as Small Flowers, featuring a Chinese poem by the literati painter Chen Shun (1483-1544). The poem reads, "The east wind rises day and night. / Peach and plum blossoms cannot help being ruffled. / I study the dewdrops drenching the flowers. / The magnolia falls comparatively later". A post-war reproduction from the O-Edo Mokuhan-sha Company. This particular edition was produced by the O-Edo Mokuhan-sha, probably in the 1950-60s period. There are a few foxing spots from its long storage in their packaging, from which it has now been (thankfully) released! As you can see from the information in the cartouche, this one was carved by Kametaro Harada, whose bench Dave is using these days, having received it from Harada-san's son a few years ago.
