Japanese print Mount Fuji

“Inume Pass in Kai Province” by Katsushika  Hokusai.

This painting is a reproduction of “ The Inume Pass in Kai Province ” , it represents Mount Fuji seen from the foot of a hill and was created by the iconic Japanese painter Katsushika Hokusai in the 1830s.

We can actually see Mount Fuji rising into the sky, piercing the setting sun with its snow-capped summit. As Japanese workers and horses climb a mountain in Kai Province.

The Japanese text located at the top left of the canvas corresponds to Hokusai's signature as well as the title of his work. Literally this gives “Series 36 views of Mount Fuji - the Inume pass in the province of Kai ” “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.
