"Back of Mount Fuji from Minobu River" (Minobugawa ura Fuji) is a renowned woodblock print by the eminent Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this artwork is part of Hokusai's celebrated series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the famous print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." The series, produced between 1830 and 1832, explores the majestic presence of Mount Fuji from various perspectives and locations, reflecting the mountain's significance in Japanese culture and spirituality.

In "Back of Mount Fuji from Minobu River," Hokusai captures a tranquil and less conventional view of the iconic mountain, emphasizing its grandeur and the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape. The composition presents Mount Fuji from the rear, as seen from the banks of the Minobu River, which is located in the present-day Yamanashi Prefecture. This perspective offers a unique vantage point, contrasting with the more typical frontal views of the mountain that dominate the series.

The print is characterized by Hokusai's masterful use of color and line to depict the natural environment. The calm flow of the Minobu River in the foreground, the delicate gradations of color on the slopes of Mount Fuji, and the intricate details of the flora and fauna contribute to a sense of harmony and contemplation. Hokusai's innovative approach to landscape art and his ability to convey depth and atmosphere have made this print, along with the rest of the series, highly influential in both Japanese art and the broader context of world art history.

"Back of Mount Fuji from Minobu River" is not only a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill but also an embodiment of the cultural reverence for Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan's natural beauty and spiritual essence. The series to which this print belongs had a profound impact on the development of landscape art in Japan and also influenced Western artists during the 19th century, particularly the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, who were inspired by the aesthetics and techniques of Japanese woodblock prints.

Today, "Back of Mount Fuji from Minobu River" is celebrated as a quintessential work of ukiyo-e and is held in various art collections worldwide. It continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and serves as a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the artistic traditions and environmental appreciation of Japan during the Edo period.
