100 Views of Mt. Fuji (Fugaku Hyakkei)

100 Views of Mt. Fuji - Beautiful color reprint of a scene from Hokusai's "100 Views of Mt. Fuji" series, which was originally designed in black and white. The series was devoted to the sacred Mt. Fuji and reflects the importance of the mountain in the everyday lives of the Japanese during the Edo era. From land and sea, throughout the seasons, Mt. Fuji appears majestic with an appealing sense of permanence. This reprint edition by Takamizawa was published in the mid-20th century with the addition of beautiful coloring. These classic Hokusai landscape views are a wonderful choice for display.

Two Beauties and Mosquito Netting - Attractive Hokusai design of two beauties preparing for bed, one reaching out from beneath the mosquito netting towards a tobacco set. The other woman holds a pillow on her knees as she crouches near a lantern, a folding screen behind her. A partially unrolled letter and a round fan rest on the floor nearby. A charming scene from everyday life. Published by Takamizawa, circa 1950s.
