A colourful and evocative woodblock print by Hokusai from the series One Hundred Poems By One Hundred Poets as Told by the Nurse Ariwara no Narihira Ason. It is autumn as depicted by the red leaves flowing in the stream and the sheaves of rice standing in the fields. The farmer at the left has a full load of sheaves on his back and two men by the riverbank are net fishing. The couple at the top with the man carrying a small boy are clearly of a higher rank than the others as seen from their clothing. Originally printed between 1835 and 1836. This is a 20th century woodblock by the Kyoto Print Institute Shinagawa edition carved by Endo and printed by Ito
The Oban Yoko sized woodblock print has a poem by Ariwara No Narihira who is one of the Rokkasen (six immortal poets). He was exiled as punishment for an affair with the Empress. The poem reads:
Unheard of
Even in the age
Of the mighty gods
These deep crimson splashes
Dyed in Tatsuta’s waters
The Tatsuta River, located six miles west of Nara is famous for the red maples lining its banks and the fallen leaves floating on the water. Approximate dimensions of the sheet are: Oban-yoko-e 39 cm width and 25.2 cm Width

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.
