Honderd gezichten op de berg Fuji - deel één Possibly 1876

This is the first volume of "Honderd gezichten op de berg Fuji" by Katsushika Hokusai. The book, presented in muted tones, speaks volumes about the artist's structural approach. The cover features a dominant yellow hue that sets a visual stage for the textual elements. The script is arranged vertically, inviting the viewer to engage with the composition, one sign at a time. This layout isn't just aesthetic; it challenges Western conventions, offering a semiotic system rooted in Japanese culture. Hokusai's work here extends beyond mere representation; it questions how we perceive and categorize visual information. It invites ongoing interpretation and re-interpretation.
