Series; A Thousand Views of the Sea and Waterside

A Thousand Views of the Sea and Waterside - Hokusai's striking series "A Thousand Views of the Sea and Waterside" is considered one of the great landscape series from the later part of his career. Focusing on fishing and the movement of water, Hokusai's images beautifully capture mesmerizing scenes on the ocean, at the beaches, and along the rivers of Edo era Japan. Today collectors prize these beautiful old reprints from the "Sea and Waterside" as they are rarely seen in the market compared to Hokusai's more famous "Thirty-six Views of Fuji" series. If these wonderful views appeal to you, bid now!

Choshi in Shimosa Province - This is considered the most outstanding print of the series. Hokusai depicts the force of the raging waves breaking on the rocks at Choshi. The motion of the water against the rocks and boats on the waves is reminiscent of his masterwork, "The Great Wave." Published by Takamizawa, circa 1950s.
