Title of work: Cherry blossoms and a hawk Artist: Katsushika Hokusai / Large-format nishiki-e / Around 1834 (Tempo 5) Material: Rayon Fujiette Print: Overprint (indigo pigment) Buttons: White mother-of-pearl buttons
After he turned 50, Hokusai produced many works with birds as a theme, but most of them depicted birds of prey rather than the gorgeous birds favored by other artists. This work depicts the dignified figure of a hawk used in falconry, with cherry blossoms in full bloom behind it. The hawk is tied to a perch with braided cord, and its feathers and legs are detailed. This work is a vertically long work known as a chodaiban, but Hokusai is known to have produced several other chodaiban flower and bird paintings, including auspicious images such as "Turtle," "Carp Climbing a Waterfall," "Crane on a Snow-capped Pine Tree," and "Pasture Horse."
This aloha shirt is unique in that it is printed using indigo pigment, inheriting Hokusai's original style of using indigo pigment in his works.
