'''Bodhidharma by Katsushika Hokusai''' is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (c. 1760–1849), who is best known for his series ''Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'', which includes the iconic print ''The Great Wave off Kanagawa''. Hokusai's depiction of Bodhidharma, the legendary founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism, is part of his rich body of work that often features historical and religious figures. In this print, Hokusai portrays Bodhidharma with his traditional attributes, emphasizing his spiritual intensity and the legend of his nine-year meditation facing a wall.

Bodhidharma is typically depicted in Zen art as a bearded and wide-eyed figure, and Hokusai's interpretation is no exception. His Bodhidharma is often characterized by a strong, expressive line work and a dynamic use of color that reflects the artist's mastery of the ukiyo-e genre. The print may also reflect Hokusai's own interest in spirituality and transcendence, themes that he explored throughout his career.

As with many of Hokusai's works, the ''Bodhidharma'' print would have been produced through a collaborative process involving skilled carvers and printers working under the artist's direction. The exact date of creation for this specific print is not well-documented, which is common for many ukiyo-e prints of the period. However, it is likely to have been produced during the late Edo period, when Hokusai was at the height of his artistic powers.

The ''Bodhidharma'' print by Hokusai is an important work within the context of Japanese art history, illustrating the cross-pollination of religious iconography and popular art in Edo-period Japan. It stands as a testament to Hokusai's enduring influence on the visual arts, both within Japan and internationally. As with many of Hokusai's prints, it is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a significant piece within the canon of Japanese woodblock prints.
