Katsushika Hokusai (1760~1849)

Japanese Woodblock Print  Name

#20 -Tōkaidō Shinagawa Goten'yama no Fuji

(Goten-yama-hill, Shinagawa on the Tōkaidō)  東海道品川御殿山ノ不二  

From Series - Thirty six Views of Mount Fuji

Gotenyama is located near what is now Kitashinagawa 3-chome,

Shinagawa Ward, and cherry tree saplings were transplanted from Yoshino in Washu

 during the Kanbun era (1661-73).

It became a famous cherry blossom viewing spot for the common people of Edo,

and along with Asukayama and Sumida Tsutsumi, it was bustling with visitors.

This painting depicts one such cherry blossom viewing scene, capturing scenes of

 outings that are no different to today, with families and people enjoying drinking

 parties.

The peaceful, vibrant atmosphere of the cherry blossom viewing can be felt not only

 from the cherry blossoms in full bloom, but also from the calm Edo Bay and

Mount Fuji peeking through the trees.

This series of Hokusai’s “Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji” has been reproduced by the Tokyo traditional Woodblock Print Association.

These traditional woodblock prints are produced by a contemporary dream team of many of the top skilled Japanese craftsmen, exactly as was the first edition at Edo-Tokyo Museum
