In this XXL edition, discover Katsushika Hokusai's seminal Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, an artifact of art history and masterpiece of woodblock practice. Gathering the finest impressions from institutions and collections worldwide in the complete set of 46 plates alongside 114 colour variations, and carefully produced with Japanese binding, this visual delight transports us to the heart of 19th century Japan. Mount Fuji has long been a centrepiece of Japanese cultural imagination, and nothing captures this with more virtuosity than the landmark woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). The renowned printmaker documents 19th century Japan with exceptional artistry and adoration, celebrating its countryside, cities, people, and serene natural beauty. Produced at the peak of Hokusai's artistic ambition, the series is a quintessential work of ukiyo-e that earned the artist world-wide recognition as a leading master of his craft. The prints illustrate Hokusai's own obsession with Mount Fuji as well as the flourishing domestic tourism of the late Edo period. Just as the mountain was a cherished view for travellers heading to the capital Edo (now Tokyo) along the T?kaid? road, Mount Fuji is the infallible backdrop to each of the series' unique scenes. Hokusai captures the distinctive landscape and provincial charm of each setting with a vivid palette and exquisite detail. Including the iconic Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa (also The Great Wave), this widely celebrated series is a treasure of international art history. Among only a few complete reprints of the series, this XXL edition pays homage to Hokusai's striking colours and compositions with unprecedented care and magnitude. Bound in the Japanese tradition with uncut paper, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji presents the original 36 plates plus the additional 10 later added by the artist. The publication paints an enchanting picture of pre-industrial Japan and is itself a stunning monument to the art of woodblock printing.
