The Floating World

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Lower Meguro

下目黒 · Shimo Meguro

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830–32

それは何か

Farmers work terraced fields among the rolling hills of Lower Meguro, and Fuji peeks out between the slopes.

なぜ重要か

Hokusai gives this view of the farmland outside Edo to the people who worked it.

注目すべき点

The hills are rounded, overlapping shapes, and the mountain appears in the gap between two of them almost by accident.

In the countryside the mountain is a neighbour, glimpsed over the shoulder.

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。
