Hokusai's Toshisen Ehon Gogon-zekku - Handsome design from Hokusai's five volumes series "Toshisen Ehon Gogon-zekku" (Selections of Illustrated Tang [618-907] Poems in the Gogon-Zekku Style). Published in 1833, these prints illustrate famous Chinese poems from the Tang Dynasty. Hokusai's black and white woodblocks are beautifully detailed, creating lyrical and evocative settings. Images include elegant palaces, travelers making their way through the countryside, warriors in battle or relaxing, and even a few kacho-e or birds and flowers designs. Hokusai illustrated more than 250 books in his lifetime, and these interesting scenes display his masterful compositions and skillful draftsmanship. A rarely seen series and a nice opportunity to collect an original Hokusai woodblock.
