You don't want to know what the text says.
It's a woodblock print called The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife by an 18th Century artist called Hokusai, if memory serves it was part of a book or a collection released at the time. He loved nature and was a strong believer in the shinto ideal of humanity and nature belonging together in unison although there has never been a consensus on whether he painted the piece just to make money or for a deeper reason. There have been a number of copies inspired by it over the years including one by Pablo Picasso.
Before anyone asks, we had some Japanese prints come into the store a while back and I ended up having to research what they were and how much they could be sold on for.
On the other hand, I'm almost afraid to ask how long Miss D was wandering around the exhibition for.
