This woodblock print, "Tengu" by Katsushika Hokusai, depicts two Tengu, mythical creatures with long noses and bird-like features. The Tengu are depicted in mid-air, their feathered bodies and sharp claws suggesting their supernatural abilities. Hokusai, a renowned artist of the Edo period, was famous for his dynamic compositions and expressive lines. Known for his "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji" series, Hokusai, also explored the realm of yokai, mythical creatures like the Tengu in this print. The use of bold lines and dramatic angles in this print creates a sense of movement and energy, reflecting the mystical nature of the Tengu.
