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.

Possibly from a Respected Publisher (Adachi, Takamizawa, or Watanabe). These publishers are known for producing museum-grade reprints. Some of their editions do not have visible seals. No guarantee, but paper quality and printing style resemble known reprints. ? Hand-Printed Using Traditional Methods. Raised ink texture suggests authentic woodblock printing, not digital. Reverse-side ink impression is a common feature in woodblock prints. ? Rare Small-Format Woodblock Print. Most reprints of The Great Wave are full-sized (10″x15″). This 6″x4″ format is less common, making it an interesting collector’s item. ? Not an Original Edo-Period Print (1831) – This is a later reprint. ? No Publisher’s Seal Found – This means the exact origin is unknown. ? Glue Residue on Back and slightly torn back – it was previously mounted and then removed but does not affect artwork. HOWEVER – I do offer a 30 day guarantee, this piece is very unique and you can feel the textured surface indicating woodcut pressed and you can see that it’s not normal paper, it looks like what I’ve seen online for handmade paper. I have not seen another of this size (6 inches by 4 inches).
