"Sanka Hakuu" (山家白雨), which translates to "Mountain Dwelling in White Rain," 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 esteemed body of work that captures the beauty and essence of Japan's landscapes and daily life. While Hokusai is best known for his series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the iconic "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," "Sanka Hakuu" is a testament to his broader artistic exploration of nature's interplay with human habitats.

The print depicts a rural mountainside scene where a heavy white rain enshrouds a humble dwelling. The composition is characterized by Hokusai's masterful use of negative space and line work to convey the intensity and atmosphere of the rainstorm. The white rain contrasts with the detailed depiction of the natural surroundings and the house, creating a sense of isolation and tranquility amidst the elements.

"Sanka Hakuu" is a fine example of Hokusai's attention to the transient moments of nature, showcasing his ability to blend realism with a sense of poetic melancholy. The artwork reflects the Japanese aesthetic principle of "wabi-sabi," embracing the beauty found in impermanence and imperfection. As with many of Hokusai's prints, "Sanka Hakuu" has been influential in the development of landscape art within Japan and has also garnered international appreciation, contributing to the Japonisme movement in the West during the 19th century.

This print is held in various art collections around the world and continues to be studied and admired for its technical prowess and emotive power. "Sanka Hakuu" remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Katsushika Hokusai and is a valuable cultural artifact that offers insight into the historical and artistic context of Japan during the Edo period.
