Images of Birds by Japanese Artist Hokusai

 

Some happy thoughts to distract from today’s travesty on the American dream.


From “Pictures after Nature” (Hokusai shashin gafu) 北斎写真画譜




Bird pictures from web searching 

Remembering an exhibit about Hokusai’s life and art.

I love these works of art. I've enjoyed sketching a few over the years. I should work on that.

Very beautiful. Reminds me of the art Dad brought home from Japan in the 1970s, oh, looong ago!
