Japanese boat print

“The sea route of Kazusa province” by Katsushika  Hokusai.

This reproduction of a Japanese print which represents a sailing boat is actually one of the paintings created by the legendary Japanese painter Katsushika Hokusai. It is called “The sea route of Kazusa province” and is part of the series of “Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji” that Hokusai produced in the 1830s.

Although not very visible from the sea, in this print we can clearly see Mount Fuji which stands out from the horizon with its snow-capped summit.

As for the Japanese writings that we can see at the top left of this canvas, they represent the title of the work as well as the signature of the painter. The one on the left framed in white can be translated as “Series 36 views of Mount Fuji - the sea route of Kazusa province”. And the one further to the right is Hokusai's signature used after 1822: "Hokusai Itsu".

PLEASE NOTE: The frame is not supplied with the canvas, so we leave 4 to 5 centimeters of margin on each edge in order to be able to add reinforcement.
