This *ukiyo-e* woodblock print, *Untitled*, depicts a scene of a samurai with two swords defending himself against an attack from a man wielding a long staff. The artist, Katsushika Hokusai, was a renowned Japanese painter and printmaker who is known for his bold and dynamic compositions. This print showcases the artist’s signature style, with its expressive lines and use of contrasting light and shadow. Hokusai's masterful use of black ink and subtle color nuances creates a sense of movement and drama. The scene, set in a landscape with trees and fields, highlights the contrast between the dramatic and the everyday, reflecting the complex themes of strength and vulnerability that are present in many of his works.
