"Fuji above the Clouds" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei. Created between 1890 and 1900, the print showcases the majestic Mount Fuji, partially obscured by swirling clouds, a common motif in Japanese art. Hokkei's use of delicate lines and subtle color gradients evokes a sense of tranquility and awe, emphasizing the mountain's sacred status. This print, now held by the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the beauty and artistry of the ukiyo-e tradition.
