About this artwork

This colour woodblock print shows several pleasure boats on the Sumida River. In the foreground we see the bow of one boat, named Sumidamaru, where two women and a boy sit beside a low table holding a bonsai tree. Behind them lie the riverbank and part of the Ryogoku bridge. Katsushika Hokusai made the print in Japan between 1808 and 1812. It was printed from a black line block with colour blocks, with blind printing for texture, and finished with touches of watercolour. The paper measures about 25 by 38 centimetres.

On your wall: Its gentle river scene and small domestic details suit a study, living room or hallway, particularly in calm, understated interiors that welcome a touch of Japanese art.

About Katsushika Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese painter and printmaker who worked in the ukiyo-e tradition during the Edo period. He helped widen the style beyond portraits of courtesans and actors to include landscapes, plants and animals. His series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which includes The Great Wave off Kanagawa, influenced Van Gogh and Monet.
