'Seven-League' Beach
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.

Climbing on Fuji Shojin tozan
36 Views of Mount Fuji Climbing on Fuji Shojin tozan by #Hokusai Mt. Fiji is 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft) high
Unlike the other prints from the series, which portray Mount Fuji from a distance, this image depicts the very top of the sacred mountain, with pilgrims arriving at Fuji's breathtaking summit after an exhausting climb and making their way toward the mountain's grottoes for worship. http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/search-the-collections/56235
Colour woodblock oban print. Final design of series. Pilgrims in white jackets making way to cave on Mt Fuji at sunrise: some bracing themselves with wooden staffs as clambering over rocks; others pausing to rest and huddling together in cave. http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=783953&partId=1
Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art is the first major exhibition of its kind devoted to the impact of Buddhist pilgrimage on Asia’s artistic production.
