Painting Description
"Mount Fuji Reflected on Water at Misaka in Kai Province" is a distinguished woodblock print created by the eminent Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. This artwork forms part of Hokusai's renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," which was produced between 1830 and 1832 during the Edo period. The series, celebrated for its artistic innovation and influence, showcases Mount Fuji from various locations and in different seasons, reflecting Hokusai's fascination with the mountain's enduring beauty and spiritual significance.
This particular print, "Mount Fuji Reflected on Water at Misaka in Kai Province," depicts a tranquil and picturesque scene where Mount Fuji is mirrored perfectly in the calm waters of Lake Kawaguchi, one of the Five Lakes of Fuji located in the Kai Province (present-day Yamanashi Prefecture). The composition is masterful, with Hokusai employing the technique of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries, to capture the serene beauty of the landscape. The reflection of the mountain in the water creates a symmetrical balance, drawing the viewer's eye to the majesty of Mount Fuji, which is rendered with fine detail and subtle gradations of color.
Hokusai's use of Prussian blue, a pigment that was newly introduced to Japan at the time, adds a vibrant intensity to the print, enhancing the visual impact of the scene. The artist's innovative use of color, along with his skillful composition, exemplifies his ability to blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western artistic principles, making "Mount Fuji Reflected on Water at Misaka in Kai Province" a quintessential example of Hokusai's artistry and a key work in the ukiyo-e genre.
The print not only captures the physical beauty of Mount Fuji but also embodies the cultural and spiritual significance of the mountain in Japanese consciousness. Mount Fuji has been a symbol of national identity and a subject of religious veneration in Japan, and Hokusai's series, including this print, played a crucial role in popularizing these views during the Edo period and beyond.
Today, "Mount Fuji Reflected on Water at Misaka in Kai Province" is celebrated as one of Hokusai's masterpieces, admired for its technical brilliance and aesthetic appeal. It continues to inspire artists and captivate audiences worldwide, serving as a testament to Hokusai's enduring legacy in the world of art.
