Gale to Asajigahara 

This woodblock print, created by Katsushika Hokusai, depicts figures traversing a landscape. The work's title, *Gale to Asajigahara*, alludes to the strong winds and the Asajigahara region, likely in Japan. Hokusai, renowned for his artistic talent, captured the essence of movement with the flowing robes and the dynamic composition. The *ukiyo-e* style, characterized by its flat planes and vibrant colors, is evident in the depiction of the figures and the landscape. This artwork, now in the Guimet Museum, Paris, reflects the visual storytelling of Hokusai, a masterful artist of the Edo period.
