36 Views of Mount Fuji Shichiri-ga-hama Suruga Province Koshigoe village on Enoshima Island in Sagami Bay by Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai, Shichiri-ga-hama [Beach] in Suruga Province (Sōshū Shichiri-ga-hama), a colour woodblock print

This print belongs to what is thought to be the first group of five designs in the series, done originally entirely in shades of Berlin blue. Shichiri-ga-hama, 'Seven-League' Beach, lies in the foreground with Mt Fuji seen past the island of Enoshima in the middle-ground. Cumulonimbus clouds rise on the horizon, suggesting summer storms, and yet Fuji is well covered with snow.

Colour woodblock oban print. One of two views from series, part of first group of five designs printed in Berlin blue. Shichiri-ga-hama in foreground, Enoshima with massive trees and houses in Koshigoe village in middle-ground, Mt Fuji covered by snow in distance; cumulonimbus clouds rise on horizon. Trimmed on all sides except right. Inscribed, signed and sealed.

Hokusai Exposed: why great art should never be digitally remastered. A new show recreates the Japanese master's art so it looks like it did when it was originally made. It's a pointless exercise – and a creepy view of art's future. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2013/oct/24/hokusai-exposed-art-digitally-remastered
