Katsushika Hokusai (i)
Introduction to Katsushika Hokusai and Ukiyo-e Art Movement
Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter, and printmaker of the Edo period (1603-1868). He is best known for his woodblock print series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' (
Fugaku sanjūrokkei) which helped secure his fame and popularity within Japan and overseas. Ukiyo-e, meaning 'pictures of the floating world,' is a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings depicting various subjects such as female beauties, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, landscapes, flora, fauna, and erotica (

'Fuji, Mountains in Clear Weather (Red Fuji)' by Katsushika Hokusai
Fuji, Mountains in Clear Weather (Red Fuji) is a stunning example of Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e style. This woodblock print from 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' series showcases the iconic mountain in a deep saturated red, with thin white lines of snow tracing down from its peak. Small clusters of clouds fill the sky, and tiny trees grow to the base of the mountain, indicating its massive size (

The Significance of Mount Fuji in Hokusai's Work
Mount Fuji was a constant source of inspiration for Hokusai, and his infatuation with the mountain went beyond admiration for its beauty. The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, an 11th-century Japanese folktale, tells the story of a bamboo cutter who discovers a mysterious baby girl inside a glowing bamboo stalk. He raises her as his own daughter and names her Kaguya-hime (The Princess Who Lived in a Bamboo Cutter's House). Eventually, she reveals that she is from the Moon and must return there. Before leaving, she gives her earthly parents an elixir of immortality but asks them not to use it. The father, unable to resist temptation, drinks the elixir and turns into a mountain – Mount Fuji (
