KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI. At Sea off Kazusa (Kazusa no kairo), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjurokkei)

At Sea off Kazusa (Kazusa no kairo), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjurokkei). Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1760-1849 Tokyo (Edo)). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 9 7/8 in. (25.1 cm); W. 15 1/16 in. (38.3 cm). Date: ca. 1830-32.
The mast and sails of the large junk in the foreground create an interesting play of triangular forms that reflect and frame the form of Fuji in the distance. The deep blue hue of the water in the foreground of the print finds a visual counterpoint in the inky blue band that reaches across the horizon and sky. This repetition of color serves to flatten out the scene, bridging the distance between near and far. A shoreline and tiny sailboats range along the horizon, which is subtly curved.
