Archers 1817

"Archers" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, created in 1817. The print depicts five archers in various poses, demonstrating different techniques of archery. Hokusai's dynamic lines and meticulous details capture the energy and skill of the archers, making this a classic example of ukiyo-e, the popular art form of Edo-period Japan. The work is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a testament to the enduring appeal of Hokusai's artistic vision.
