Surimono are a genre of Japanese woodblock prints that were privately commissioned and often created for special occasions such as New Year's greetings, poetry contests, or other personal celebrations. Katsushika Hokusai, one of Japan's most renowned ukiyo-e artists, is known for his significant contributions to this genre. Hokusai's surimono works are celebrated for their intricate designs, exquisite craftsmanship, and the harmonious integration of visual and literary elements.

Hokusai's surimono typically feature a combination of images and kyōka (playful or humorous poems), which were often composed by members of poetry clubs. These prints were not intended for public sale but were distributed among a select group of individuals, making them rare and highly valued by collectors. The themes of Hokusai's surimono are diverse, ranging from depictions of nature, such as birds, flowers, and landscapes, to scenes of daily life, historical events, and mythological subjects.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of Hokusai's surimono is the meticulous attention to detail and the use of luxurious materials. These prints often employed high-quality paper, elaborate embossing techniques, and the application of metallic pigments, which added a sense of opulence and depth to the artwork. Hokusai's mastery in capturing the subtleties of form, texture, and color is evident in these works, showcasing his versatility and innovation as an artist.

Hokusai's surimono not only reflect his artistic prowess but also provide a glimpse into the cultural and social milieu of Edo-period Japan. They serve as a testament to the collaborative nature of Japanese art, where the synergy between visual and literary creativity resulted in works of profound beauty and sophistication. Today, Hokusai's surimono continue to be admired for their artistic excellence and are considered important cultural artifacts that offer insight into the rich tapestry of Japanese art and history.
