The story and details
The story: From One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse (c. 1835–36), Hokusai’s late series picturing the classical anthology of a hundred poems. Ariwara no Narihira’s poem marvels at the Tatsuta River dyed crimson with fallen leaves; Hokusai sets it among ordinary people — porters, travellers, two men reaching down to the water.
Details: Glossy black ceramic · 11 oz or 15 oz · the picture printed on both sides with the artist’s name beneath · dishwasher-safe (top rack) and microwave-safe · lead- and BPA-free.
