An Aizuri-e by Katsushika Hokusai refers to a type of Japanese woodblock print that is predominantly blue in color, created by the renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). Hokusai, one of the most famous figures in the world of ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," was known for his innovative compositions, pioneering use of color, and mastery in depicting the natural world and the everyday life of people in Edo-period Japan. The term "Aizuri-e" itself means "indigo printed pictures," reflecting the dominant use of Prussian blue, a pigment that was newly introduced to Japan in the early 19th century from Europe. This pigment allowed for a range of vivid blues that became very popular in Japanese printmaking.

Hokusai's exploration into Aizuri-e was part of a broader trend during the late Edo period, where artists experimented with monochromatic prints, often in shades of blue. These works are characterized by their dynamic use of the blue pigment to create depth, shadow, and varying tones, showcasing Hokusai's skillful manipulation of color and form. While Hokusai produced a vast array of works over his lifetime, including the internationally recognized series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," his Aizuri-e prints are celebrated for their beauty, technical excellence, and innovative approach to color.

Hokusai's contribution to the Aizuri-e genre not only reflects his personal artistic evolution but also marks a significant moment in the history of Japanese art, where the interplay between traditional techniques and the introduction of foreign materials led to new artistic expressions. His Aizuri-e works continue to be admired for their aesthetic qualities and for Hokusai's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with minimal color, demonstrating his unparalleled talent as an artist of the Edo period.
