"Surimono Illustrating a Writing Desk" is a notable example of Japanese woodblock print art from the Edo period, created by the ukiyo-e artist Totoya Hokkei. Surimono are a genre of Japanese woodblock prints that were privately commissioned for special occasions and often featured poetic inscriptions. They were typically more elaborate and of higher quality than commercial prints due to their limited circulation among a select audience, such as poetry circles or private patrons.

Totoya Hokkei (1780–1850), a student of the renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai, was known for his detailed and delicate surimono designs. The "Surimono Illustrating a Writing Desk" reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of the Edo period, showcasing the intricate interplay between visual art and literature. In this print, Hokkei depicts a writing desk, a symbol of scholarly pursuits and literary refinement, which would have resonated with the educated elite of the time.

The composition likely includes various elements associated with the art of writing, such as brushes, ink stones, and paper, as well as references to poetry or literature. These elements are not only aesthetically pleasing but also carry cultural significance, reflecting the values and tastes of Edo society. The inclusion of poetic calligraphy in the design would have added an extra layer of meaning and enjoyment for the contemporary viewer, as it often related to the scene depicted or the occasion for which the surimono was made.
