EDITORS COMMENTS
Shower Below the Summit," or "Sanka hakuu," is a captivating woodblock print from Hokusai's renowned series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," created between 1830 and 1833. This masterpiece by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, also known as Tokimasa or Tatsumasa, showcases Mount Fuji in all its majesty, shrouded in the raw power of nature. The print depicts the mountain from a unique perspective, with the summit obscured by a heavy shower. The volcanic peak, a symbol of Japan and an iconic geographical feature, is framed by the ominous clouds, adding an element of mystery and intrigue. The raindrops cascade down the mountain, creating a mesmerizing scene of water and mist, while the cracked ground below reveals the volcanic nature of the mountain. Hokusai's mastery of color and composition is evident in this print, with the muted browns and grays of the mountain contrasting beautifully against the vibrant colors of the rain-soaked landscape. The print is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of the natural world and convey the ever-changing moods of Mount Fuji. Originally created during the Edo period, this woodblock print is a significant work of Ukiyo-e art, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." The series, "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," is considered one of Hokusai's greatest achievements and remains an enduring symbol of Japanese art and culture. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, the arts of Asia, or the heritage of Japan. It is a reminder of the power and beauty of nature, as well as the enduring influence of Hokusai's art on the world.
