Artist

Katsushika Hokusai (1760~1849)

Japanese Woodblock Print  Name

#38 - Tōtōmi sanchū (Mount Fuji from the mountains of Tōtōmi) 遠江山中

From Series - Thirty six Views of Mount Fuji

In the Totomi Mountains is thought to have been painted in the western region of

 Shizuoka prefecture, but the exact location has not been identified.

A huge square timber is depicted at an angle in the centre of the painting,

with sawhorses sawing above and below it.

The composition is geometric, and above all, Mount Fuji is visible through the triangular

 space created by the tall pillars supporting the timber, which seamlessly matches

the triangle of the mountain's shape, creating a mysterious space

that is seamlessly expressed.

This painting can be described as a masterpiece, completed by

Hokusai's calculated composition.
