Original Triptych Life Nature and Myth Print

This exceptional triptych features three original woodblock printed pages from the Hokusai Manga, the legendary sketchbook series by Katsushika Hokusai, 1760-1849. While Hokusai is best known for landscapes, his Manga was intended to be an encyclopedia of the entire world. This rare three-panel presentation perfectly encapsulates that ambition, featuring three distinct themes - The Mythological, Right - A dynamic study of Shishi, Lion Dogs, revered guardians in Japanese folklore, rendered with swirling, animated fur. The Natural, Centre - A delicate observation of sparrows and finches, Suzume, capturing their quick, fluttering movements. The Human, Left - A social study contrasting formal court figures in robes with everyday laborers, showcasing Hokusais ability to capture posture and character with a few brushstrokes. To unify these three distinct pages, the piece has been housed in a premium conservation setting - Gallery Triptych Mount - Custom-cut triple window mount allows the viewer to appreciate the narrative breadth of Hokusais work in a single glance. Natural Timber Frame - Encased in a solid oak timber frame that reflects the Japandi, Minimalist aesthetic and complements the cream tones of the antique paper. UV Protection - Fitted with conservation-grade glazing to preserve the 19th-century ink for future generations. Verified Authentic.
