Fuji, Mountains in clear Weather (Red Fuji) 1831

"Fuji, Mountains in Clear Weather" (Red Fuji), created in 1831 by Katsushika Hokusai, is a stunning example of a ukiyo-e woodblock print, a popular art form in 19th-century Japan. The print depicts Mount Fuji, a sacred and iconic mountain in Japanese culture, with vibrant colors and intricate detail. Hokusai's bold use of red, blue, and white creates a striking contrast against the delicate brushstrokes depicting the clouds and the mountain's snowy peak. The work captures a moment of serene beauty and tranquility, reflecting Hokusai's profound appreciation for the natural world.
