Peonies and Canary by Katsushika Hokusai
Peonies and Canary belongs to a small, untitled group of Hokusai's flower prints from around 1834, often referred to as his 'Small Flowers' series. It pairs full, layered peony blooms with a single canary, accompanied in the original print by a short verse ā a pairing typical of the kachÅ-ga tradition, where a specific bird and flower are read together as a seasonal or poetic motif.
The canvas surface adds warmth and tactile depth to the composition, making this canvas print a natural choice for work with strong colour and texture.
