$0.00 AUD

A curated acquisition by Fox & Wedge.

​This is a verified original woodblock print by the legendary Japanese master Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), the artist behind The Great Wave.

​Taken from the celebrated Hokusai Manga — his famous series of sketchbooks that influenced the Impressionist movement in Europe — this diptych features a masterful study of a woven hanakago (flower basket). The composition overflows with detailed peonies, hydrangeas, and irises, rendered with Hokusai’s signature energetic line work and distinct hatching techniques.

​Unlike modern reproductions, this piece features the tactile, warm texture of original 19th-century washi paper, carrying the history of the Edo period.

 

​Conservation & Framing:

  • ​Custom Timber Frame: Housed in a contemporary blonde timber profile that harmonizes with the organic tones of the antique paper.
