Frog Rectangle Canvas Wrap Size:16″ x 24″ (Vertical) writhing in conflict with forcesFrog (1814) by Matsumoto Hoji (Japan, active 1770 1815) This simple yet amusing print by the Japanese artist Hoji is a woodblock print from Meika Gafu (1814), showing the sad faced frog in black ink beneath red calligraphy. Toads and frogs were common motifs in "Zenga" or "Zen pictures" during the Japanese Edo period, as Zen monks considered them to be creatures free from the distraction of the mundane world, representing a pure and natural life.
