EDITORS COMMENTS
Shower Below the Summit," also known as "Sanka hakuu" or "Sorobiku," is a captivating woodblock print from Hokusai's renowned series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku sanjurokkei), created around 1830-33. This masterpiece by the legendary Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) showcases Mount Fuji, Japan's iconic and revered volcanic mountain, shrouded in rain and mist. The image captures a unique perspective, with the summit hidden from view, revealing only the lower slopes and the cascading rainwater streaming down the mountain's craggy surface. The print, which measures approximately 26.5 x 38.7 cm (oban size), is a stunning example of Hokusai's mastery of color woodblock printing. The muted browns and grays of the mountain contrast beautifully with the vibrant blues and whites of the rain-soaked landscape. The clouds, rendered in delicate shades of pink and gray, add a sense of movement and energy to the scene. Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japanese culture and heritage, has long been a source of inspiration for artists and poets. Hokusai's depiction of the mountain in various weather conditions, from tranquil to tempestuous, reflects the deep connection between the Japanese people and their natural environment. This print, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, is a testament to Hokusai's artistic genius and his enduring influence on the world of art. The "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" series, which includes this print, is considered a seminal work of the Edo period (1603-1868) and the ukiyo-e (floating world) artistic tradition. It continues to captivate audiences around the world, inspiring awe and admiration for the beauty and power of nature, as well as the artistic vision of its creator.
