A woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, 'Pearl Divers' depicts women diving for pearls, resting on the shore, and sailing in boats. The artwork captures the energy of the scene with a palette of blues, reds, and yellows.
This woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) depicts a scene of pearl divers at work. Hokusai, a Japanese artist of the Edo period, is best known for his woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which includes the iconic print The Great Wave off Kanagawa. His work influenced many Western artists, particularly in the Impressionist movement. The print shows women diving into the water to collect pearls, while others rest on the shore and in boats. The composition is divided into distinct areas: the active divers in the foreground, the rocky shore with resting figures, and the distant seascape with boats and islands. The waves are rendered with a sense of movement, and the figures are depicted in various poses, capturing the energy of the scene. The colour palette is composed of blues, reds, and yellows, typical of ukiyo-e prints. The print offers a glimpse into the lives of these workers and the coastal environment in which they lived.

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.
