Best known for “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”, Hokusai was a prolific ukiyo-e master whose work shaped not only Japanese art but influenced Western greats like Monet and Van Gogh. “The Laughing Hannya” offers a rare glimpse into a more mischievous, unsettling side of his genius.

In this haunting art print, the traditional Hannya — a female demon from Noh theatre, often weeping in rage or sorrow — is seen laughing. It's a twist on the archetype, unsettling and mesmerising all at once. The mask-like visage, fangs bared in what could be either glee or madness, reflects not only technical brilliance but deep psychological insight.

This isn't just wall art. It’s a story on paper — a woman transformed by emotion, still possessing the ability to laugh, perhaps mockingly, in her demonhood. The lines are sharp, the gaze piercing, and the energy unforgettable.
