"Willow and Birds" by Katsushika Hokusai is a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print that exemplifies the artist's fascination with nature and his mastery in capturing its essence. Hokusai (c. 1760–1849), one of the most celebrated artists of the Edo period in Japan, is renowned for his prolific output and the variety of subjects he depicted, ranging from landscapes and flora to fauna and daily life scenes. Although Hokusai created a multitude of prints throughout his career, "Willow and Birds" stands out for its delicate portrayal of the natural world.

The artwork features a willow tree, a recurring motif in Japanese art and poetry, symbolizing grace and resilience. The willow's branches elegantly sweep across the composition, suggesting movement and fluidity. Amidst the willow's foliage, birds are depicted in mid-flight or perched, adding a dynamic element to the scene. The print is characterized by its fine lines and attention to detail, which are hallmarks of Hokusai's style. The use of color in "Willow and Birds" is subtle yet effective, with the willow's green tones contrasting against the softer background hues, drawing the viewer's eye to the interplay between the tree and the birds.

"Willow and Birds" is part of Hokusai's broader body of work that reflects his deep appreciation for the natural world and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of life and immediacy. While the exact date of creation for this print is not well-documented, it is representative of Hokusai's mature period, when he had fully developed his artistic techniques and vision. The print is a testament to Hokusai's enduring influence on the genre of ukiyo-e and his contribution to the visual arts, not only within Japan but also in shaping the course of Western art through Japonisme.

As with many of Hokusai's works, "Willow and Birds" has been appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its reflection of Japanese culture. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Hokusai and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and beauty.
