This woodblock print, created by famed Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, depicts the iconic Mount Fuji in the distance, viewed through the arch of the Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa. Hokusai was known for his detailed landscapes, often showcasing the beauty of his native Japan. This print exemplifies his use of vibrant colors, dynamic lines, and intricate details to capture the essence of the scene. The bridge itself is a central focal point, with its elegant curve contrasting against the calm waters below, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. The inclusion of figures on the bridge and in the boats further enhances the sense of human activity within the landscape. This piece, characteristic of Hokusai's artistic style, offers a glimpse into the everyday life and natural beauty of Edo-era Japan.
