"Nummer twee: God met hanen" (God with Roosters, Number Two) is a woodblock print from 1825 by the Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei (1790-1850), currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This ukiyo-e print depicts a god with a white rooster standing on a pair of wooden geta sandals, surrounded by clouds. Hokkei uses vibrant colors and detailed brushwork to capture the mystical aura of the subject, evoking the supernatural imagery popular in Japanese folklore.
