A Fuji Arts Special Offer Auction

Illustrated Tang Poems of Seven-syllable Lines - Handsome illustration from Hokusai's five volume series "Illustrated Tang Poems of Seven-syllable Lines" (Ehon Toshisen shichigonritsu). Published in 1836, these prints illustrate famous Chinese poems from the Tang Dynasty [618-907]. 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.
