Bring home the poetic atmosphere of Japan with "Yoshino Waterfalls in Yamato Province", a refined reproduction of the work by Katsushika Hokusai made on authentic Amalfi paper. The waterfall tumbling between red rocks and lush vegetation creates a continuous movement that catches the eye and instantly turns the wall into a focal point of great visual impact.
In this scene Hokusai tells the legend of the warrior Yoshitsune washing his horse in the Yoshino waterfall, fusing history, myth and nature in a single evocative image. Hokusai focuses attention on the dynamism of the water, rendered in thick whites and intense blues fanning out between red rocks and stylised vegetation, while two small figures tend the horse at the edge of the torrent. The print unites real landscape, warrior myth and a proto-Romantic sensibility for nature, typical of late Edo ukiyo-e.
