Katsushika Hokusai // Trained Monkey Eating Stolen Peaches Canvas Print

Trained Monkey Eating Stolen Peaches is a lively and characterful ukiyo-e design attributed to Japanese master Katsushika Hokusai, renowned for his inventive compositions and expressive depictions of animals, nature, and everyday life.

The composition shows a monkey engaged in a mischievous moment, reaching for or consuming peaches, rendered with Hokusai’s distinctive balance of humour, observation, and stylised form. The scene reflects a playful side of ukiyo-e tradition, where animals are often used to convey personality, behaviour, and subtle narrative meaning.

Hokusai is internationally celebrated for works such as The Great Wave off Kanagawa and his landscape series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. Beyond his iconic landscapes, his broader body of work includes countless studies of animals and nature, demonstrating both technical mastery and a strong sense of character and movement.

Trained Monkey Eating Stolen Peaches is admired for its charm and storytelling quality, combining humour with careful composition and elegant line work typical of Edo-period woodblock printing.

This canvas print edition reproduces the original ukiyo-e detail and expressive line work, making it especially appealing to collectors of Japanese art, animal studies, and decorative minimalist interiors.

Just bought a few of these from an art company in Wales and they are stunning. I think because of their big size - the power of the canvas print is amazing. The scan above cannot possibly do it justice - the actual piece is dynamic, vibrant and just a work of art in itself. The canvas print is a 1000 times better than an ordinary print - it looks like, er, a canvas picture!

2021: My master printer has retired sadly so these prints will never be available again. Such a shame as they were exquisite little prints but the printer gave me no warning of his retirement so I couldn't persuade him to continue or find a way of taking over the printing. The result is these prints are no more. I'm a little sad as I really believed in the quality of these prints but such is life.
