Original Katsushika Hokusai Woodblock - Samurai Cavalry Charge, Manga Vol. 9 - London Gallery. This striking diptych is a verified original woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, 1760–1849, the master of the Ukiyo-e genre. ​Drawn from Volume 9 of the famous Hokusai Manga - Kyu-hen, this piece captures a chaotic and thrilling moment of samurai warfare. The scene depicts two mounted warriors galloping through a hail of falling arrows, while foot soldiers with pikes swarm in the foreground. It perfectly exemplifies Hokusais genius for capturing motion and kinetic energy in a static medium. ​Unlike many floating prints, this piece comes with exceptional provenance, having been sourced and certified by the reputable Japanese Gallery on Kensington Church Street, London. The piece retains its original certification label from the Japanese Gallery (London), confirming the artist, publication volume, and publisher (Toheki-do). The artwork is presented in a sleek, black gallery frame that accentuates the bold ink lines of the print. ​ The diptych is float-mounted to reveal the edges of the antique paper, highlighting the texture and history of the washi. ​A dynamic piece of Japanese martial history with established London provenance. An ideal statement piece for a collector of samurai history or fine graphic art.
