The Appearance of Hoeizan

Katsushika Hokusai

The Appearance of Hoeizan, from the series; One Hundred Views of Mt. Fuji (Fugaku Hyakkei). Following the success of his masterwork "Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji," Hokusai began this wonderful series of one hundred black and white prints in 1834. Devoted to the sacred Mt. Fuji, each image reflects the importance of Fuji in the everyday lives of the Japanese during the Edo era, and demonstrates Hokusai's incredible draftsmanship and compositional skill.

This print is from an 1850 edition with the addition of a soft pink color, released the year after the artist's death. A beautiful Hokusai series.
