Shisui shinshō
Shisui Shinsho
From behind a woman and two girls in a tatami room, a large tiger peers out.
About this print
Beyond a hanging kimono, a large tiger with gold-tinged stripes comes into view. In front of it, a woman with her hair piled high stays seated and reaches out to the right. Before her are two girls with flowers in their hair, and the one on the left throws up both arms in a big stretch.
It was drawn by Katsushika Hokusai, an ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. Known for Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and Hokusai Manga, he changed his art name, the name he worked under, many times.
On the paper spread across the floor at the lower left, a face in profile is drawn in fine lines. Next to it lies another sheet, this one covered in writing.
