Poem by Chunagon Yakamochi - Katsushika Hokusai Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Katsushika Hokusai built this Hyakunin Isshu ukiyo-e woodblock print around a single pun. Chunagon Yakamochi's court poem speaks of frost settling on a bridge built by magpies. The nurse's folk reading seized on one word: watari, meaning crossing, and turned heaven's bridge into a harbor scene.

A black-hulled cargo boat, bow curled high and trimmed in salmon lacquer, cuts across flat water under two bare masts strung with rigging. Sailors in dark robes work the deck; one steadies the tiller near a blue cabin with a shuttered window, pink beneath its eaves.

Rust-red cliffs climb from the shoreline on the left, their slopes dark with pine, small thatched roofs pressed into the rock. A coral band lights the horizon where Hokusai layers his signature bokashi gradient into pale sky, and two smaller sailboats drift near a low gray island.

Birds cross low over indigo water. Above, a poem card holds the original waka in brushed calligraphy beside a blue title cartouche, court verse and common trade sharing one Edo-period sheet.
