Item Details
Description
Japanese Woodblock Print, originally published c.1830, this is a Showa era print from recarved blocks published by Watanabe with round 7mm seal

SIZE IN INCHES: oban 15.5 x 10.5 inches

THE MOUNT FUJI SERIES BY HOKUSAI was the first major landscape series in the history of the Japanese print when it launched for the New Year of 1831. The images were instantly popular with the public, offering new and compelling images that are now icons of world art, including "Under the Wave Off Kanagawa," also known as the "The Great Wave" and "South Wind, Clear Sky" or "Red Fuji."

At the time of its launch, the print series was a phenomenal success driven in part by widespread Japanese devotion to Mount Fuji as a sacred site of pilgrimage and worship. Demand for the prints spurred Hokusai's publisher to reprint the most popular designs and expand the series by 10, bringing the total number of prints in the series to 46.
