A hand puppet 

This woodblock print, "A Hand Puppet," was created by the prolific Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, renowned for his masterful landscapes and ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," prints. The artwork depicts a vibrant, stylized hand puppet in the form of a horse, adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors. The puppet is positioned against a backdrop of traditional Japanese attire and a blossoming tree, evoking a sense of playfulness and storytelling that was characteristic of Hokusai's work.
