EDITORS COMMENTS
The Surface of the Water at Misaka in Koshu Province," a captivating color woodblock print from the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" by the legendary Japanese artist Hokusai Katsushika, dates back to the 19th century, specifically the Edo period. This masterpiece, also known as "Koshu Misaka suimen," showcases the serene beauty of a tranquil lake nestled at the foot of Mount Fuji in Koshu Province, now known as Yamanashi Prefecture. The print's vibrant green color palette, inspired by the lush vegetation and the calm, reflective surface of the lake, creates a striking contrast against the majestic, snow-capped Mount Fuji in the background. The Kisō Mountains and the pass at Misaka are also depicted, adding to the intricate geographical detail of the scene. Hokusai, a pioneer in the Ukiyo-e artistic school, meticulously crafted this print using the Oban format, which allowed for larger, more detailed compositions. The print is adorned with a cartouche, featuring the artist's name, "Hokusai," and the title of the series, "Fugaku sanjurokkei," or "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." This work of art is a testament to Hokusai's unparalleled ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty and the profound connection between the people and their land. The Surface of the Water at Misaka in Koshu Province is not only a visual delight but also a valuable piece of cultural heritage that continues to inspire artists and art enthusiasts around the world.
