Footnotes

One of Hokusai's first pupils, Teisai Hokuba started his career as an illustrator of poetry anthologies and novels, but later specialized in hanging scrolls of beautiful women executed in fine colourful detail, often (as in the present lot) against an ink-wash landscape background depicting the outskirts of Edo.
