Basho by Hokusai 

"Basho" is a black and white woodblock print by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, famous for his "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji". It depicts the influential 17th-century poet Matsuo Bashō, seated beneath a tree with a staff in his hand, in a simple, almost stark, style. The image, likely created during the Edo period, demonstrates Hokusai's skill in capturing the essence of a figure through careful line work and shading, echoing the traditional artistic style of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints.
