"Shimpen Suiko Gaden" (新編水滸畫傳), also known as "Histoires Illustrées De Suiko-Den," is a series of woodblock prints created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. The series is an adaptation of the classic Chinese novel "Shui Hu Zhuan" (水滸傳), known in English as "Water Margin" or "Outlaws of the Marsh." This novel, attributed to Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong, is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature and tells the tales of a group of outlaws and their exploits against corrupt officials and oppressive rulers.

Hokusai's adaptation, "Shimpen Suiko Gaden," translates to "Newly Edited Illustrated Stories from the Water Margin." It reflects Hokusai's interest in Chinese literature and his skill in ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints and paintings. The series is notable for its dynamic compositions, attention to detail, and the way it captures the essence of the characters and their adventures from the original narrative.

The prints in "Shimpen Suiko Gaden" showcase Hokusai's mastery of line and his use of color, which bring to life the vivid scenes and complex characters of "Water Margin." Each print typically features one or more of the 108 heroes from the novel, often in moments of action or contemplation. The series is an important part of Hokusai's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the cross-cultural exchanges between Japan and China during the Edo period.

Hokusai's work on "Shimpen Suiko Gaden" is also significant for its influence on later artists and its role in popularizing the stories of "Water Margin" in Japan. The series is a testament to Hokusai's artistic versatility and his ability to adapt and reinterpret stories from different cultures through the medium of ukiyo-e.

As with many of Hokusai's works, "Shimpen Suiko Gaden" is highly regarded by art historians and collectors, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. The series is a valuable resource for those interested in Japanese art, the history of woodblock printing, and the exchange of literary and artistic traditions between Japan and China.
