A landscape of a way connecting Koshu in Yamanashi with Mishima in Shizuoka via Kagosaka Touge(mountain pass). Behind the big tree deviding the screen, Mt. Fuji is standing with both lines spread. The travellers stretching out their arms to measure the trunk suggest how big the tree is. You can see the elaborately-designed gradation of indigo blue, green and sumi-black. Among all, the beauty of indigo blue stands out. The summer clouds emerging like a coil shows Hokusai's amazing sense.
Slightly soiled and stained.
Katsushika Hokusai (October or November 1760–May 10, 1849 was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. In his time, he was Japan's leading expert on Chinese painting. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best-known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (c. 1831) which includes the iconic and internationally recognized print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created during the 1820s. Hokusai created the "Thirty-Six Views" both as a response to a domestic travel boom and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji. It was this series, specifically The Great Wave print and Fuji in Clear Weather, that secured Hokusai’s fame both within Japan and overseas. As historian Richard Lane concludes, “Indeed, if there is one work that made Hokusai's name, both in Japan and abroad, it must be this monumental print-series...”While Hokusai's work prior to this series is certainly important, it was not until this series that he gained broad recognition and left a lasting impact on the art world. It was also The Great Wave print that initially received, and continues to receive, acclaim and popularity in the Western world.
