Description
"Moon, Persimmon, and Grasshopper" is an iconic woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, a master of 19th-century Japanese ukiyo-e. Created around 1830, this artwork depicts a scene of great delicacy and a deep connection with nature.
The print features a bright moon in a nocturnal sky, surrounded by branches of persimmon laden with ripe fruit. A grasshopper is perched on one of the branches, ready to begin its nocturnal song. See more
The moon, a symbol of ephemeral beauty and poetic contemplation, gently illuminates the scene.
Hokusai captured the moment when nature and the season harmoniously come together. The persimmons represent autumn, a time of harvest and transition to winter, while the grasshopper sings in the night, evoking melancholy and the passage of time.
This artwork embodies the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the ephemeral. "Moon, Persimmon, and Grasshopper" invites us to contemplate the transience of life and the grace that resides in the simple moments of nature.
