"Yui" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). Created during the Edo period, it is part of Hokusai's famous series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes his most iconic work, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." The series, produced between 1830 and 1832, depicts Mount Fuji from various locations and in different seasons and weather conditions.

The print "Yui" specifically captures a view from the Yui station, which was one of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō, the coastal road linking Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto. In this composition, Hokusai masterfully contrasts the majestic presence of Mount Fuji in the background with the daily activities of the local people in the foreground. The scene is set at a point where travelers would have had a clear view of the mountain, emphasizing its cultural and spiritual significance in Japan.

Hokusai's use of Prussian blue, a pigment that had recently been introduced to Japan from Europe, adds a vibrant and dynamic quality to the print. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey movement and depth are evident in the depiction of figures and the natural landscape. "Yui" exemplifies Hokusai's skill in creating a sense of harmony between humanity and nature, a theme that resonates throughout the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series.

As with the other prints in the series, "Yui" reflects Hokusai's innovative approach to perspective and composition, which had a profound influence on both Japanese art and Western artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, "Yui" and the rest of the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series are celebrated for their artistic significance and are considered masterpieces of ukiyo-e art.
