Hokusai Woodblock Print One Hundred Poems for 100 Poets Number 2. An evocative woodblock print by Hokusai with a poem Poem by Jitô Tennô Explained by the Nurse (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki). Originally printed between 1835 and 1836. This is a 20th century woodblock reprint in excellent overall condition. Fisherman tending their baskets in the water while travelers lwade through the shallow water carrying parcels and two women carry white fabric draped over a bamboo pole. The poem by the seventh-century Empress Jito reads:
Spring, it seems, has passed,
And the summer come again;
For the silk-white robes,
So ’tis said, are spread to dry
On the “Mount of Heaven’s Perfume.”
The holes at the top margin confirm this was originally part of a portfolio which was released as a set.
Approximate dimensions of sheet are 38.5 cm width and 26 cm height. Approximate dimensions of print are 34.5 cm width and 23.5 cm height.

Hokusai Katsushika – 1760-1849
Hokusai was completely obsessed by producing ukiyo-e (woodcut prints). He lived for nothing else working from early in the morning until after sunset. The art name Gakyo-rojin, which he used from 1834-1849 means old man mad with painting.
