About Peonies and Canary
Peonies and Canary is a work that is part of the Japanese tradition of Kacho-e, which literally means “flower-bird picture” in Japanese. The woodcut print depicts a canary floating above blooming peonies. Hokusai emphasizes the beauty of nature through the combination of delicate tones and vivid colors, thus capturing a striking moment of poetic tranquility.
