(SOLD) travelers with a heavy snow - Hokusai

Hokusai Anthology of Famous Pictures by Takamizawa - In the mid-1950s, the renowned Takamizawa Publisher released a reprint series of 49 of Hokusai prints. The series focused on Hokusai’s charming, atypical designs that were less commonly seen. From nature scenes and beauties to outstanding selections from Hokusai's "100 Views of Mt. Fuji" series, these expertly carved and printed designs beautifully capture the details of the Edo era originals. Printed with the attention to detail and exquisite quality of the Takamizawa Publisher, this rare reprint series is a collector’s delight.

Comments - Terrific Hokusai view of travelers struggling through a heavy snow in the Echigo District. A groom leads the horse by a rope along a mountain pathway his head down and snow covering the back of his straw raincoat. Other travelers can be seen making their way through the valley below.
