葛飾北斎「あやめにきりぎりす」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Blossoming Irises and Grasshopper

This highly regarded print features realistic depiction through the use of elaborate fine lines. The veins of the leaves, consisting of numerous parallel lines, are powerfully depicted and the kirigirisu (Japanese cricket) looks as if it will move at any moment. Close inspection reveals that even the tiny hairs on its legs are presented in precise detail.

Hokusai produced his very first print in 1779 at the age of twenty. It was an actor print in the hosoban format signed Katsukawa Shunro. He built his career by creating more actor prints but was mainly active as a book illustrator.Hokusai also produced paintings throughout his life and his works surpassed those of other ukiyo-e masters in terms of both quality and quantity. He began to draw designs for large, single-sheet prints after the age of seventy. At this time he also started to produce landscape and flowers and birds prints; late in life he did however again concentrate on book illustrations and paintings. In summary Hokusai can be said to have contributed greatly to the field of ukiyo-e in a variety of ways.
