About this artwork
This colour woodblock print belongs to Hokusai's series of thirty-six views of Mount Fuji, made between 1829 and 1833. Fuji was a familiar presence in Japanese travel writing of the 19th century, and maps sometimes marked it with a mountain-shaped icon and pointed out where travellers could see it best. This view is sometimes called "Red Fuji". It shows the mountain at a moment between late summer and early autumn, when it takes on a reddish colour. The print dates from the early 1830s, during Japan's Edo period.
On your wall: With its reddish mountain and clear sky, it suits calm living rooms, studies and hallways, and sits well in interiors that favour Japanese or quietly natural styles.

About Katsushika Hokusai
Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese painter and printmaker who worked in the ukiyo-e tradition during the Edo period. He helped widen the style beyond portraits of courtesans and actors to include landscapes, plants and animals. His series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which includes The Great Wave off Kanagawa, influenced Van Gogh and Monet.
