About this artwork
This colour woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai dates from 1814 and belongs to the ukiyo-e tradition of Edo-period Japan. As the title tells us, it shows young women paying homage at a shrine, and a paper lantern is among the details a viewer will find. It is described as nishiki-e, the term for multicoloured woodblock printing, and also as egoyomi, a type of pictorial calendar print. Hokusai is best known for his landscapes, yet here his attention turns to people and a moment of ritual. The original is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
On your wall: Its gentle subject and delicate print character suit a calm study, a hallway or a bedroom, especially in homes that favour quiet, considered decoration.

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.
