A captivating and visually stunning exploration of one of Hokusai's most iconic motifs: Mount Fuji. Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and the three volumes of his subsequent One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji showcase his profound fascination with this majestic mountain. Hokusai's near-obsession with Fuji was deeply rooted in his quest for artistic immortality, as he believed that Mount Fuji held the secret to eternal life, as suggested by its name: Fu-shi (not death).
Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji was created during the late 1830s, when Hokusai was in his seventies and at the peak of his artistic prowess. Among the prints included in this collection are three of the artist's most renowned masterpieces: The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Fine Wind, Clear Morning, and Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit. By the time Hokusai embarked on creating his second grand tribute to Mount Fuji, he adopted the artist names Gakyo rojin (Old Man Crazy to Paint) and Manji (Ten Thousand Things, or Everything).
Through his artwork, Hokusai juxtaposed the steadfastness and solidity of Mount Fuji with the ravages of the surrounding elements, depicting the mountain in various seasons, weather conditions, and settings. This portrayal conveys a profound message: while life undergoes constant change, Fuji remains unwavering and constant.
This book encompasses all the illustrations from these two masterpieces, as well as numerous earlier renditions and later paintings of Mount Fuji. By presenting a comprehensive collection of Hokusai's work, this volume serves as a historical journey through the artist's oeuvre, showcasing his unparalleled artistic vision and mastery.
