This woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Toyota Hokkei depicts Narihira, a famous poet, on a journey. The print captures a moment of the poet's travels with an attendant as they rest by the side of the road. The print features a distinct Japanese aesthetic, with a focus on fine lines and muted color, and is a fine example of the ukiyo-e style popular in Japan. Hokkei, born in 1780 and active in the 19th century, is known for his beautiful and evocative landscapes and his depictions of scenes from Japanese history and literature. This artwork showcases his ability to capture the elegance and beauty of a bygone era.
