Description
Hokusai's Fuji is a beautifully illustrated exploration of the artist's fascination with Mount Fuji, a motif that dominated his work for over two decades. From the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, produced in the 1830s, to the later One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, this book brings together many of Hokusai's most famous works, including The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Fine Wind, Clear Morning and Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit.
Through his depictions of Mount Fuji, Hokusai conveys an important message: while life changes, the mountain remains steadfast. This book showcases the artist's oeuvre, tracing a history of his work from early to later paintings, and including many of his earlier renditions of the mountain. With its rich illustrations, Hokusai's Fuji offers a unique insight into the artist's creative vision.
