After the successful publication of his ten-print bird- and-flower (kachō-ga) series in the horizontal format (examples on view nearby), Hokusai released another kachō-ga series with the same publisher, Nishimuraya. The new set consisted of ten vertical compositions (three are on view) bearing a poem mentioning the featured flower. The Chinese-style poem at the upper right of this print is attributed to the Southern Song scholar Wang Shiming (1112–71). Double-flowered peonies from Yangzhou, the king of flowers in bloom this spring. The idea of cultivating plants as an elegant pastime was introduced from China as early as the 12th century and caught on among Japan’s aristocracy and military elite. By the Edo period, the hobby was pursued by all classes of society, even in thriving metropolitan areas like Edo. Peonies were especially popular, with blossoms of various colors, sizes, and types.

Katsushika Hokusai was a brilliant artist, ukiyo-e painter and print maker, best known for his wood block print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which contain the prints The Great Wave and Fuji in Clear Weather. Hokusai’s artistic influence has stretched to have affected the Art Nouveau style in Europe, including Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.”
