Ono Waterfall on the Kisokaido - Katsushika Hokusai

The artwork

The “Ono Waterfall on the Kisokaido” by Katsushika Hokusai is one of the most evocative images of the 19th-century Japanese landscape, conveying balance, movement and natural harmony. This reproduction on fine Amalfi paper captures all the graphic power and chromatic delicacy of the original work, making it ideal for those who wish to bring a masterpiece of ukiyo-e into their home.

Historically, the “Ono Waterfall on the Kisokaido” is part of the famous series devoted to the landscapes and routes of Japan made by Katsushika Hokusai in the Edo period. The work depicts one of the waterfalls along the Kisokaido road, an important route linking Edo and Kyoto. Hokusai interprets the subject with strong dynamism, using flowing lines and visual contrasts to emphasise the power of the water. The scene is not merely descriptive but evocative: it conveys an almost spiritual vision of nature, typical of the Japanese sensibility of the time.
