Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji As the title tells, all of the paintings in this series depict Mt. This work is not only recognized as Hokusai’s masterpiece, but also the greatest masterpiece of ukiyo-e depicting sceneries. At first, thirty-six drawings were published, and ten more were added afterwards due to their popularity, totaling forty-six. The original thirty-six are called “Omote Fuji Front (of) Fuji” and the addition is called “Ura Fuji Back (of) Fuji”. Religious practice existed among people, much like today. People enthusiastically climbed up Mt. Fuji in groups as a form of worship known as “Fuji ko”. In this social background, Hokusai drew Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji, and it achieved great success. Hokusai made his debut the following year. After Shunsho’s death, Hokusai left the Katsukawa School and took on the name Sori Tawaraya. Tawaraya was the name of one of the groups of the Rinpa School in Kyoto. Hokusai began his career as a town painter. He worked as Sori for three years, and then started using the name of Hokusai when he was 38 years old. During his 40s, Hokusai became famous for the illustrations in books about his unique expression and style. In his 50s, the number of his apprentices increased and he established his school – the Katsushika school. He started producing the work that earned him a place in history, Thirty-six views of Mt. Fuji, when he was over 70 years old. He died at around 90, leaving the impressive words, If I could have lived ten or even five more years, I would have become a real painter.

Key Details. Artist: Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Subject: Oishi Kuranosuke, leader of the 47 Ronin. Series: Seichu gishi den c. Oishi is depicted seated in seiza, exuding dignity and resolve, with his hand on his sword, symbolizing readiness. His detailed armor features a fan motif (authority) on the shoulder guards, fish-scale patterns (resilience) on the arm guards, and a chrysanthemum crest (loyalty) on the thigh guards. The kimono displays a floral pattern (15 chrysanthemums, symbolizing nobility), while the hakama has geometric shapes (order). The print bears censor seals (likely “Aratame” and a zodiac year, 1847) and the publisher’s mark of Yamamoto-ya Heikichi, a prominent Edo publisher. Soiling: 10 foxing spots (0.1-0.3 cm diameter), mostly on the shoji screen and wooden wall, likely from humidity and fungal growth. Partial Backing: The print has a partial backing (likely starch-based adhesive), causing localized discoloration. Margins: Trimmed to 0.3-0.5 cm, indicating prior framing or storage adjustments. Historical Value: A direct connection to the 47 Ronin story, a cornerstone of Japanese culture, depicted by one of ukiyo-e’s greatest artists. Cleaning, crease reduction, this print could increase in value, as Kuniyoshi’s works continue to appreciate in the art market.
