A woodblock print by Ogata Gekko titled 'Nihon hana zue', depicting a figure seated beneath a blossoming tree. The print showcases Gekko's mastery of line and colour, evoking a sense of serenity.
Ogata Gekko (1859-1920) was a Japanese artist known for his illustrations and ukiyo-e woodblock prints during the Meiji period. He initially trained as a textile dyer, but later turned to art, studying with various artists. Gekko's work often depicted scenes from Japanese history, folklore, and daily life, and he gained recognition for his skill in capturing the changing atmosphere of Meiji-era Japan. He is considered one of the last significant artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. This print, titled 'Nihon hana zue', features a contemplative figure seated beneath a blossoming tree, likely a cherry tree, a symbol of spring and renewal in Japanese culture. The composition is carefully balanced, with the dark, gnarled branches of the tree contrasting against the delicate white blossoms and the soft, muted tones of the background. A winding stream adds depth to the scene, leading the eye into the distance. The figure, dressed in traditional robes, appears to be in deep thought, perhaps reflecting on the beauty of nature or the passage of time. The print showcases Gekko's mastery of line and colour, as well as his ability to evoke a sense of serenity and contemplation.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
