Lake Suwa in the Shinano province 1833

This ukiyo-e woodblock print, created in 1833 by renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, depicts the serene beauty of Lake Suwa in the Shinano province. The composition features a striking contrast between the expansive water surface, the silhouetted mountains in the distance, and the prominent pine trees in the foreground. This work showcases Hokusai's mastery of woodblock printing techniques, with vibrant colors and fine details capturing the essence of the natural world. The artist's signature style, characterized by bold lines and vivid hues, is evident in this artwork, which is now part of the Guimet Museum collection in Paris.
