Painting Description
"The Dragon of Smoke Escaping from Mt Fuji" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. This artwork is part of Hokusai's famous series "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku Hyakkei), which consists of three volumes of prints published between 1834 and 1849. The series showcases Hokusai's fascination with Mount Fuji, a subject he returned to repeatedly throughout his career, depicting the mountain in various seasons, weather conditions, and from different vantage points.
In this particular print, Hokusai presents a dramatic and imaginative scene where a dragon, a mythical creature often associated with power and good fortune in Japanese folklore, appears to be emerging from the peak of Mount Fuji amidst swirling clouds of smoke. The composition is a testament to Hokusai's mastery of line and his ability to blend realism with fantastical elements. The dragon is intricately detailed, with scales and claws rendered with precision, while the mountain and the smoke are depicted with bold and fluid strokes, creating a sense of movement and ethereal beauty.
The print is a fine example of the artist's work during the later period of his life when he was exploring more mystical and supernatural themes. "The Dragon of Smoke Escaping from Mt Fuji" not only captures the awe-inspiring nature of Japan's iconic mountain but also reflects the cultural significance of dragons in Japanese art and mythology. The work is admired for its technical excellence and its embodiment of the Edo period's (1603-1868) artistic innovation and cultural richness.
As with many of Hokusai's prints, "The Dragon of Smoke Escaping from Mt Fuji" has been influential in both Japanese and Western art, contributing to the Japonisme movement in Europe and continuing to inspire artists and audiences with its timeless appeal and striking imagery.
