To the right lies Tsukudajima Island, and to the left Ishikawajima, known in the Edo period for its laborers’ quarter. Mount Fuji rises beyond the bay, positioned along the distant horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"764\"\u003eThe composition is structured horizontally. The calm expanse of water occupies the central field, creating an open plane that separates foreground activity from the distant mountain. Boats are dispersed across the surface at varying angles, their diagonal orientations generating movement within the otherwise stable horizontal field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"1060\"\u003eEach vessel carries out a distinct function—transporting goods, carrying passengers, or engaging in fishing. This distribution of boats across the water establishes rhythmic variation rather than density. The activity is active but not chaotic; motion is contained within a broad spatial order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1331\"\u003eThe sky above remains expansive and relatively undisturbed. Its openness contrasts with the directional movement of the boats below. Fuji stands small yet clearly defined beyond Edo Bay, anchoring the composition along the horizon line and stabilizing the visual field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1333\" data-end=\"1607\"\u003eThe print clarifies a recurring structural contrast within the series: maritime activity and urban labor unfold across the foreground, while Mount Fuji remains distant and unchanged. Human industry operates across fluid space, set against the fixed geometry of the mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003eAbout Katsushika Hokusai\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1856\"\u003eKatsushika Hokusai was one of the most influential ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period. Active as painter and printmaker, he expanded ukiyo-e beyond portraiture into landscapes, nature, and scenes of everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"2094\"\u003eIn Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, Hokusai transformed landscape into a structural system—juxtaposing motion and stillness, labor and faith, industry and leisure—while anchoring each composition with the enduring presence of Mount Fuji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2096\" data-end=\"2099\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2117\"\u003eReproduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2119\" data-end=\"2217\"\u003eThis work is a 20th century lithographic reproduction of Hokusai’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2308\"\u003eIt is not an original Edo period woodblock print, but a later limited edition lithograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2310\" data-end=\"2374\"\u003eHand printed and numbered 180\/300 in pencil on the lower margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2379\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2381\" data-end=\"2392\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2394\" data-end=\"2457\"\u003eMedium: Lithograph\u003cbr data-start=\"2412\" data-end=\"2415\"\u003eEdition: 180\/300\u003cbr data-start=\"2431\" data-end=\"2434\"\u003eSize: 410 mm × 600 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2459\" data-end=\"2509\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAll artworks are sold as shown in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumano.is","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49103726870828,"sku":null,"price":29999.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/6205\/5724\/files\/Kumano_project_Hokusai_20240601_0012.jpg?v=1717690598","url":"https:\/\/kumano.is\/products\/the-cushion-pine-at-aoyama-from-36-views-of-mt-fuji-series-by-hokusai-copy-copy-copy","provider":"Kumano.is","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
