The story of Kajikazawa in Kai Province

Kajikazawa in Kai Province (Koshu Kajikazawa) was produced as one of the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published from about 1830 to 1832. It is considered one of the masterpieces of the series, particularly in its early blue impression (aizuri-e). A man casts fishing lines tied to cormorants into the violent Fuji River from a rocky outcrop, his tensed body echoing the waves below.

Katsushika Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, active as a painter and printmaker. His woodblock print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji includes the iconic print The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Hokusai was instrumental in developing ukiyo-e from a style of portraiture largely focused on courtesans and actors into a much broader style of art that focused on landscapes, plants, and animals. His works had a significant influence on Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet during the wave of Japonisme that spread across Europe in the late 19th century.
