Japanese volcano print

“Fuji on a Clear Day ” by Katsushika Hokusai

“ Fuji in Clear Weather” is a print made by the greatest master of Japanese printmaking: Katsushika Hokusai.

Created for his series “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”, Hokusai represents Mount Fuji here in a different aspect from the other works in the series. We are in fact used to finding Fuji in a rather calm and soothing setting, with almost dull colors. This print is one of the rare ones to represent Fuji in its volcano form and this is what gives the richness of the canvas.

Firstly because red is a color which symbolizes power, and here it helps to accentuate the dominant stature of Mount Fuji. And secondly because it contrasts with the Prussian blue used in the background, which conveys a feeling of calm and well-being. The writings at the top left are Hokusai's signature and the title of the print.

Ideal to bring a little warmth into a room or bedroom while maintaining a zen spirit. This reproduction of the print “ Fuji in clear weather” is available in several sizes to adapt to your interior layout and your place on the walls.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not provide the frame shown in the photo. We therefore leave 4 to 5 centimeters of margin on each side to be able to add reinforcement or a frame.
