EDITORS COMMENTS
The Back of Mount Fuji Seen from Minobu River (Minobugawa Urafuji)," a captivating work of art from the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai Katsushika, dates back to the 1830s and is part of his celebrated series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjurokkei)." This exquisite color woodblock print showcases the iconic Mount Fuji, the sacred and iconic symbol of Japan, as seen from the Minobu River estuary. The image is filled with a vibrant color palette, featuring the blue expanse of the river, the pink hues of the cherry blossoms, and the green foliage of the surrounding landscape. The mountain itself is depicted in its majestic splendor, with its snow-capped peak rising above the clouds. The scene is populated with local people and animals, including men and mules, adding a sense of activity and life to the serene landscape. A cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the title and the artist's signature, "Hokusai," as well as the name of the print's publisher, "Sorobeku." The print is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the art of block printing, with intricate details and precise lines that bring the scene to life. The oban-size print is a stunning example of the artistic school of the Edo period, showcasing the beauty and rich cultural heritage of Japan. This work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, and is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
