Certainly in the style of. This is from one of Hokusai's samurai manga, and I'd say this is just a mirrored version with some minor alterations. Unfortunately, many, many people used Hokusai's mangas as study books as artists. Without further information on provenance or expert analysis, it's impossible to say whether this is legitimately by him, one of his students, or a study by another artist.

Uglycat posted:Thank you Yeah, that samurai looks to be wearing/wielding very similar gear as the one in question, fascinating.I've looked through some pieces that have gone at auction, and there are a few that are listed as 'attributed to Hokusai' that looked remarkably similar in style, paper quality and paper fold. I don't have any provenance on it, but where might one go to get expert analysis? You could do worse than contacting the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, as it has the largest collection of Japanese Art outside of Japan. A little legwork also brings up Alberts-Langdon, a private Asian Arts dealership in Boston where you can go for an appraisal. Be aware that if it can't be answered at a glance, it will cost money.
