RATING
A Chuban woodblock print by Hokusai titled Char Fishing at Night from his series “A Thousand Views of the Sea and the Waterside”. Considered one of the great landscape series from the later part of his career. Focusing on fishing and the movement of water, Hokusai’s images beautifully capture mesmerizing scenes on the ocean, at the beaches, and along the rivers of Edo era Japan. Today collectors prize these beautiful old reprints from the “Sea and Waterside” as they are rarely seen in the market compared to Hokusai’s more famous “Thirty-six Views of Fuji” series.
Originally published in the 1830s this edition published in mid 20th Century by Adachi (stamp on verso).
Approximate dimensions of the sheet are 26 cm width and 19 cm height.

Hokusai was born to an artisan family in Edo, Japan and his childhood name was Tokitarō. His father never made Hokusai an heir and it is possible that his mother was a concubine. Hokusai began painting around the age of six. At 12 he went to work in a bookshop and at 14 he also became an apprentice to a wood-carver. At 18 he was also accepted into the studio of Katsukawa Shunshō where he would learn to master the art of ukiyo-e.
