Kakivrucht met sprinkhaan (1890-1900) by Katsushika Hokusai. Giclee Print on Museum Quality Matte Paper. Premium Wood Framed Wall Art.

Katsushika Hokusai's "Kakivrucht met sprinkhaan" (Persimmon with Grasshopper), created between 1890 and 1900, is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists. Though this work emerged late in his career, it encapsulates the essence of Hokusai's artistic philosophy and mastery of the natural world.

Hokusai, born in 1760 in Edo (now Tokyo), lived through a transformative period in Japanese history, witnessing the transition from the Edo to the Meiji era. His life was marked by a relentless pursuit of artistic perfection, a journey that saw him adopt over 30 different names and styles. Hokusai's work is characterized by a profound attention to detail and a deep reverence for nature, which is evident in "Kakivrucht met sprinkhaan."

This piece exemplifies the nihonga style, a genre that blends traditional Japanese techniques with Western influences. Hokusai employs delicate brushwork and vibrant colors to capture the intricate details of the persimmon and the grasshopper. The composition reflects Hokusai's philosophical approach, which sought to find beauty in the everyday and the ephemeral.

Through this artwork, Hokusai conveys a sense of harmony and balance, inviting viewers to appreciate the fleeting beauty of nature. The piece is significant for its representation of Hokusai's later work, where he continued to innovate and inspire. The original is currently held in a private collection, a cherished example of Hokusai's enduring impact on the art world.
