Nice wood block print, what do you think of Katsushika Hokusai?
thank you for commenting on the blog. unfortunately i dont know enough about katsushika hokusai to comment on his work. generally, japanese ukiyo-e prints are more artistic (composed by an known artist for the prints) while chinese wood block print are more of a folkcraft (composed by an artistan with the composition passed down by previous generations). with the exception of yang liu qing prints where some of the prints are composed by artists.
if you are interested; here is our japanese print;
