Hokusai’s Fuji
Hokusai’s Fuji showcases the Japanese artist’s near-obsession with Mount Fuji. This new collection includes all the illustrations from Hokusai’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and the three volumes of his subsequent One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, as well as many of his earlier and later renditions of the mountain.
In Buddhist and Daoist tradition, Mount Fuji was thought to hold the secret to eternal life. For Hokusai, Fuji came to represent his hankering after artistic immortality. It is therefore fitting that this collection is a stunning celebration of his oeuvre and the continuing significance of this incredible ukiyo-e artist.
