This woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, known for his iconic *Great Wave off Kanagawa*, showcases his mastery of nature. The *Irises and Grasshopper* print depicts the delicate beauty of irises in full bloom with intricate detail. The vibrant green leaves contrast beautifully with the soft hues of the flowers, and a grasshopper rests among the blossoms, highlighting the delicate balance of nature. This work, typical of Hokusai's style, is a testament to his profound observation of the natural world.
