(SOLD) Fuji in deep snow - Hokusai

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. 

Lovely reprint from Hokusai's series "100 Views of Fuji." Travelers make their way through a heavy falling snow, their straw coats and hats blanketed with snow. Mt. Fuji rises silently behind them, filling the landscape. A wonderful design with embossing on the snow and soft shading in the sky and mountainside.
