"Inume Pass in Kai Province" is a renowned woodblock print by the eminent Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created circa 1830–1832, this print is part of Hokusai's acclaimed series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," which explores the beauty and cultural significance of Japan's iconic mountain through various landscapes and seasons. "Inume Pass in Kai Province" depicts a dramatic view of Mount Fuji seen from the rugged Inume Pass, located in the Kai Province, an historic region that corresponds to today's Yamanashi Prefecture.

The composition of the artwork is notable for its dynamic use of line and color, capturing the raw energy of the natural landscape. Travelers are seen winding their way through the mountain pass, dwarfed by the towering presence of Mount Fuji in the background, which is rendered with fine gradations of color to suggest its snow-capped peak. The print showcases Hokusai's skill in creating depth and perspective, as well as his ability to convey the spiritual and monumental essence of the mountain that has long been a subject of worship and artistic inspiration in Japan.

As part of the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series, "Inume Pass in Kai Province" contributed to the popularization of landscape art in the Edo period and influenced the development of the ukiyo-e genre. The series, including this print, was produced using the polychrome print technique known as nishiki-e, which allowed for a rich and varied color palette. Hokusai's innovative approach to landscape, as seen in "Inume Pass in Kai Province," had a profound impact on both Japanese art and the later Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements in Western art. The print remains a celebrated work, reflecting Hokusai's enduring legacy and the timeless allure of Mount Fuji in Japanese culture.
