Black Cats - Japanese Woodcut

If Hokusai Had Painted Cats

Two black cats in front of Mount Fuji. The great sun rises - or is it setting? The waves flow in gentle lines. Red seals mark the work. This is Japan. This is Ukiyo-e. This is timeless art.

The Japanese woodblock print - called Ukiyo-e - was the pop art of the 18th and 19th centuries. Hokusai painted the Great Wave, Hiroshige the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō. They depicted life, nature, the beauty of everyday life - in clear lines, reduced colors, perfect composition.

This wall art captures that spirit and places cats at the center. Black cats - in Japan lucky charms, protectors against evil spirits. Mount Fuji in the background - sacred mountain, symbol of permanence. The sun - a sign of new beginnings. All in the reduced aesthetics of the woodblock print.

About Ukiyo-e and the Great Masters

Ukiyo-e means "Pictures of the Floating World." Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) and Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) were the most famous masters of this art form. Their works later influenced European Impressionists - Van Gogh, Monet, Klimt collected Japanese woodblock prints. This wall art is a tribute to that tradition.
