Falls of Aoigaoka in the Eastern Capital by Katsushika Hokusai
From Hokusai's Tour of Waterfalls series, this vertical composition frames the Aoigaoka falls within a dense urban setting in Edo. Water rushes down in bold parallel lines, a motif Hokusai deploys with almost calligraphic force, while figures observe from the surrounding banks. The contrast between the dynamic water and the still, layered landscape behind it exemplifies the series' signature tension between natural energy and composed observation — a formal intelligence that marks Hokusai's most experimental period.
Printed as an archival fine art print in our Berlin studio, the powerful line work and rich gradients of this composition are reproduced with exceptional sharpness and colour depth. Available with oak, black, or walnut framing.
