"Choshi in Shimosa Province" (Japanese: 相州銚子), also known as "Soshu Choshi," is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's famous series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (富嶽三十六景, Fugaku Sanjūrokkei), which was produced between 1830 and 1832. The series showcases various landscapes across Japan, all featuring Mount Fuji from different perspectives and in various seasons and weather conditions.

"Soshu Choshi" depicts a scene from the coastal town of Choshi in Shimosa Province, which is present-day Chiba Prefecture. The composition captures the raw energy of the sea and the daily life of the local fishermen. In the foreground, waves crash against the shore, illustrating Hokusai's mastery in portraying the movement of water. The background features the majestic Mount Fuji, rendered in a tranquil and contrasting manner to the dynamic sea, emphasizing the mountain's iconic and immutable presence in the Japanese landscape.

This print, like others in the series, is characterized by its use of Prussian blue, a synthetic pigment known as "Berlin blue" that Hokusai employed to great effect. The innovative use of this color, along with Hokusai's unique compositional techniques, contributed to the international recognition of "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" as a masterpiece of Japanese art and a significant influence on later Western artists, particularly the Impressionists.

As with many of Hokusai's works, "Choshi in Shimosa Province" reflects the artist's fascination with nature's beauty and power, as well as his lifelong devotion to capturing the essence of Mount Fuji. The print remains a testament to Hokusai's skill as a printmaker and his impact on the development of landscape art in Japan and beyond.
