An evocative woodblock print by Hokusai with a poem titled Sanji Takamura (Ono no Takamura) from the series One Hundred Poems By One Hundred Poets Explained by the Nurse (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki.

Over the wide sea
Towards its many distant isles
My ship sets sail.
Will the fishing boats thronged here
Proclaim my journey to the world?

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.
