Irises and Grasshopper is among Hokusai's most refined nature studies – a composition of elegant vertical blooms set against an airy, unpainted ground. A single grasshopper rests on a stem, rendered with entomological precision that speaks to Hokusai's obsessive observation of the natural world. Part of his celebrated small-format botanical series, the work balances lyrical beauty with scientific attention, placing it firmly within the tradition of kacho-ga (bird-and-flower painting) while pushing its graphic economy to new heights.

This archival fine art print from our Berlin studio preserves the fine ink lines and layered colour washes of the original with full clarity – the grasshopper's veined wings and each iris petal rendered sharp and true.
