The ground is a soft grey-beige. Verse is lettered in columns at upper left, in a smaller hand and a larger one, with the signature below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA surimono is a privately commissioned print made to announce or commemorate a special event. This one celebrates an event in the life of the actor Ichikawa Danjuro VII, whose emblem was the peony, which Japanese tradition counts as the flower of summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: woodblock print (surimono), 1810 or 1814, Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) is the most widely known of all Japanese artists.

He called himself the old man mad about drawing. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
