Drawing 22,  19.3 X 27.3 cm.

Four figures and a bird, by Hokusai, two figures by Yasuda Raishû.

22 A. A Samurai, woman and child,  by Hokusai.

Published in Mongaku jônin hoshin no ki hashi kuyô, vol. 1, pp. 4B – 5A, in 1815.  

 Changes from drawing to print:

• The figures were carefully centred in the print, faithfully copied, and a background added.
   

Artist's shorthand:

• The child’s clothes, the warrior’s jacket, the patterns on the woman’s coat.

22 B. Standing man, by Yasuda Raishû.

Published in Mongaku jônin hoshin no ki hashi kuyô ( The enlightenment of St Mongaku: Mass for the bridge), vol. 3, p. 11, in 1815.

22 C. A woman holding a kimono in her hand, by Yasuda Raishû.

Published in Mongaku jônin hoshin no ki hashi kuyô, vol. 4, p. 15B, in 1815. 

The woman’s hand near her mouth, which was badly drawn here, was corrected in the print, leading us to believe that there was an intermediate drawing between this one and the print.

22 D. An armed man, with one knee on the ground, hides his tears, by Hokusai.

Published in Matsuô monogatari ( The story of Matsuô), vol. 4, p. 4B, in 1812?.  The print is reproduced in Suzuki, Hokusai yomihon sashie shûsei, vol. 4, plate 126.
 

Changes from drawing print:

• There are no differences, which is not surprising, considering the small size of the drawing and the perfection of the stroke.
   

Artist's shorthand:

• The man’s jacket shows two motifs of pattern, the minimum necessary to give the pattern’s motif and its repetition.
  
   

22 E. Flying bird, by Hokusai.

This drawing shows all the characteristics of a drawing by Hokusai, however, its small size has not enabled us to find it in any prints.
