The Floating World

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Mitsui Shop at Surugachō in Edo

江都駿河町三井見世略図 · Edo Surugachō Mitsui mise ryaku zu

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830–32

それは何か

Roofers work high on the roofs of the Mitsui shop at Surugachō in Edo, kites fly over the street, and Fuji rises between the gables.

なぜ重要か

Hokusai puts the city’s trade and its mountain on one sheet, the shop roofs leading straight to the peak.

注目すべき点

The two great roof slopes make a valley, and the mountain sits at the bottom of the V they form.

The busiest street in the picture has the mountain at the end of it.

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。
