The Floating World

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Hodogaya on the Tōkaidō

東海道保土ケ谷 · Tōkaidō Hodogaya

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830–32

それは何か

Travellers on foot, on horseback and in a palanquin pass along the Tōkaidō at Hodogaya beneath a row of tall pines, and Fuji shows between the trunks.

なぜ重要か

Hokusai uses the roadside trees as a screen the mountain is seen through, one of the many frames the series finds.

注目すべき点

The trunks cut the view into narrow panels; the mountain sits in one of them like a picture hung between columns.

The traveller sees the great thing only in pieces, between the ordinary ones.

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。
