Woman, Full-Length Portrait, Standing, Facing Left, Holding Fan in Right Hand, Wearing Kimono with Check Design (1805) by Katsushika Hokusai. Giclee Print on Museum Quality Matte Paper. Premium Wood Framed Wall Art.

Katsushika Hokusai's "Woman, Full-Length Portrait, Standing, Facing Left, Holding Fan in Right Hand, Wearing Kimono with Check Design" (1805) is a quintessential example of the ukiyo-e genre, capturing the ephemeral beauty of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. This piece, rendered in Hokusai's early style, showcases his mastery in woodblock printing, characterized by delicate lines and a refined sense of composition.

Born in 1760 in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai was a prolific artist whose career spanned more than seventy years. His work reflects the dynamic cultural milieu of the Edo period, a time marked by economic growth, strict social order, and vibrant urban culture. Hokusai's art is distinguished by his innovative approach to perspective and use of bold colors, which would later influence Western art movements such as Impressionism.

In this particular artwork, Hokusai employs a minimalist composition, focusing on the elegant form of the woman, her kimono's check design, and the subtle gesture of holding a fan. The piece embodies Hokusai's philosophical approach of capturing the fleeting moments of beauty that define the "floating world." Through this portrayal, he conveys a sense of grace and poise, inviting viewers to appreciate the simplicity and elegance of everyday life.

This artwork is significant as it reflects Hokusai's early exploration of portraiture and design, setting the stage for his later masterpieces. The original print is currently held in several collections, with notable examples in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which houses an extensive collection of Hokusai's work.
