Hokusai Bird-and-flower Bookmark

Bird-and-flower prints each-e have a long tradition in Japanese art. The artist Katsushika Hokusai 1760-1849 was a master of this form, as can be seen in Grosbeak and Mirabilis Jalaba. Though the style is Japanese, the flower Mirabilis Jalapa is native to Peru where it was cultivated by the Aztecs for medicinal and ornamental purposes.
