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.

Mt. Fuji from the Seven Bridges - Terrific Hokusai print of peasants and travelers going about their daily business. A tall arched wooden bridge frames a view of smaller bridges over the water and distant fields, with the snow-capped peak of Mt. Fuji rising along the horizon. Wonderful color and detail in this interesting scene.
