About this work

Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849)
Year: c. 1832
Medium: Woodblock print (nishiki-e), ink and colour on paper
Original size: approx. 37.6 × 25.7 cm (ōban)
Collection: Impressions in several collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Movement: Ukiyo-e
Series: A Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces

The Kirifuri falls on Mount Kurokami, near Nikkō, pour down the sheet in splayed white fingers while tiny pilgrims climb the rocks at the base and rest on a ledge. The print belongs to A Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces, a set of eight vertical designs Hokusai published around 1832, immediately after the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. The series treats water as a living thing; here the cascade is drawn as a branching, almost vegetal form rather than a realistic sheet of spray. The Prussian blue that saturates the pool had only recently become available to Japanese printers and Hokusai used it extensively. Impressions of the design are held by major print collections in Japan, Europe and the United States.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Kirifuri Waterfall at Mount Kurokami in Shimotsuke Province in the public domain?

Yes. Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Impressions in several collections.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Kirifuri Waterfall at Mount Kurokami in Shimotsuke Province painted, and in what medium?

Kirifuri Waterfall at Mount Kurokami in Shimotsuke Province dates from c. 1832 and was made in woodblock print (nishiki-e), ink and colour on paper; the original measures approx. 37.6 × 25.7 cm (ōban).

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
