Kajikazawa in Kai Province 1830 - 1833

This woodblock print, created by renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai between 1830 and 1833, showcases his masterful use of color and perspective. Titled "Kajikazawa in Kai Province," the print depicts a dramatic scene of fishermen hauling a net in a rough sea. The swirling waves, rendered with a dynamic interplay of blue and white, create a sense of movement and energy, while Mount Fuji, visible in the distance, adds a sense of grandeur and scale to the composition. "Kajikazawa in Kai Province" is a prime example of Hokusai’s later work, characterized by bold colors and a powerful portrayal of nature.
