Ariwara no Narihira Ason Japanese Print

The Ariwara no Narihira Ason Japanese Print is a very stylish print based on the original woodblock print by Hokusai. Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist and printmaker of the Edo period who specialised in Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art and a collaborative system of printing where the artist, carver, printer, and publisher engaged in division of labour. ‘Ariwara no Narihira Ason’ is part of Hokusai’s last single sheet series ‘One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse’. Hokusai looked to an anthology of well-known poems based on love and melancholy, entitled 'A Hundred Poems by a Hundred Poets' as his source, and chose to recount the poems from the perspective of a fictional elderly nurse.

Made using a matt 250gsm conservation digital paper, a very versatile high quality paper made with acid and chlorine free wood pulp.
