Fuji in Clear Weather (from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji), early 1830s
Fuji in Clear Weather (from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji), early 1830s. Mt. Fuji, Japans highest mountain, appeared in most 18th-century travel literature. Maps sometimes situated Mt. Fujis icon to designate its actual geographical location and to indicate where travelers could get the best view of this cone-shaped mountain. Between 1829 and 1833, Hokusai created the famous print series depicting thirty-six views of the mountain. During the printing process, the natural grain of the cherry wood printing block was imprinted onto the paper in red. This image of Mt. Fuji is therefore sometimes also known as " The Red Fuji." The season in this scene is a time between late summer and early autumn, when the mountain takes on a reddish hue

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Fuji in Clear Weather (from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji)" created by Katsushika Hokusai in the early 1830s. As Japan's highest mountain, Mt. Fuji has long been a subject of fascination and admiration, often featured in travel literature from the 18th century onwards. Hokusai's renowned print series beautifully captures thirty-six different perspectives of this iconic cone-shaped mountain. In this particular image, known as "The Red Fuji". Hokusai masterfully incorporates the natural grain of cherry wood printing blocks to imprint a striking red hue onto the paper.

The artist skillfully portrays clear weather conditions that allow for an unobstructed view of the mountain's grandeur. This exquisite piece is representative of Japan's Edo period and exemplifies Hokusai's exceptional talent as both an artist and printmaker. Its vibrant colors and meticulous details transport viewers into a serene landscape where nature reigns supreme. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this Heritage Art print allows us to appreciate Hokusai's artistic genius while immersing ourselves in the timeless beauty of Mt. Fuji – forever capturing its allure for generations to come.
