Drawing of a tengu 

This drawing of a tengu, a mythical creature with a long nose and bird-like features, is a work by Katsushika Hokusai, one of the most celebrated Japanese artists of the Edo period. Hokusai's detailed rendering of the tengu, wielding a sword with its beak open wide, captures the creature's legendary power and ferocity. The use of black ink and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and movement, bringing the tengu to life in a captivating and dynamic way. The drawing is likely part of Hokusai’s extensive body of work on mythical creatures, reflecting his lifelong fascination with Japanese folklore. It is a fascinating example of Hokusai's mastery of woodblock printing and his ability to capture the spirit and imagination of Japanese mythology.
