AGAAT, Katsushika Hokusai, 1822 In a paint pot filled with small stones are two branches of red coral. On the ground next to it, a rough and a polished piece of agate. With three poems. Literally translated, the Japanese title of this print means 'Horse brain stone' (hence this design for this print series), but it means agate by it. From the beginning of the 19th century, poetry groups held meetings where they showed each other special valuables, such as the objects in this still life. Japan paper color woodcut / polishing coelenterata: coral
