AN00016058_001_l.jpg

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

800px-Climbing_on_Mt._Fuji.jpg

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

The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏 Kanagawa-Oki Nami-Ura

36 Views of Mount Fuji #Hokusai most famous The Great Wave off Kanagawa est 50 miles East of the summit of Mount Fuji

800px-Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa2.jpg

The breathtaking composition of this print ensures its reputation as a masterpiece; the great wave in the foreground is knowingly juxtaposed with the tiny Fuji in the hollow of the wave's angry crest. The clawlike wave heads that threaten to crash down upon the three boats conjure up images of mythical dragons. Like the helpless boats, Mount Fuji too appears on the verge of obliteration. http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/search-the-collections/45434

Hakone Lake in Sagami Province 『相州箱根湖水』 - Soshu Hakone kosui

800px-The_lake_of_Hakone_in_the_Segami_province.jpg

http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2008661029/

Unlike the soft coloration of the aizuri print, this image dazzles with its bright, clear tones and brilliant light effects. Hokusai makes use of the cloud form common to traditional Japanese prints, the suyari gasumi, as a framing device to draw attention to the mountain. http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/search-the-collections/36498

Lake Ashi (芦ノ湖 Ashi-no-ko?), or Hakone Lake, Ashinoko Lake, is a scenic lake in the Hakone area of Kanagawa Prefecture in Honshū, Japan. It is a crater lake that lies along the southwest wall of the caldera of Mount Hakone, a complex volcano. The lake is known for its views of Mt. Fuji and its numerous hot springs. A number of pleasure boats and ferries traverse the lake, providing scenic views for tourists and passengers. Several of the boats are inspired by the design of sailing warships. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ashi
