The Floating World

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Dawn at Isawa in Kai Province

甲州伊沢暁 · Kōshū Isawa no akatsuki

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830–32

それは何か

Travellers leave a thatched post town at Isawa before full light and cross a bridge, while Fuji stands pale over the river mist.

なぜ重要か

This is one of the ten designs added after the first thirty-six sold so well that the publisher, Nishimura, kept the series going.

注目すべき点

The town is still in shadow while the mountain has already caught the morning; the light reaches Fuji first.

The day begins at the summit and works its way down to the road.

摺りについて。 The series sold well and was printed in large numbers. The first sheets lean on the newly imported Prussian blue, outlines included; later printings add colours and soften the key block. This is the largest clean open impression of the design the Met holds. 摺りによる違いは実在します——拭き取りや退色は一枚ごとに異なり、公開コレクションの中から最良の一枚を選ぶことこそ、当店の学芸的な仕事です。

パブリックドメイン作品を忠実に復刻。
