44864ca. 19th century. Later printing. Loose leaf. near fine. Oblong chuban yoko-e-format. B/w woodblock print. 8 x 10.5". The print originates from the 2nd volume of the 3-volume set "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji" originally published 1834-1835 and considered to be among the artist's greatest achievements. The image depicts the oarsmen of an 'oshiokuri-bune' row boat on a turbulent sea. As implied by the title of the print the faint distorted reflection of Mt. Fuji can be seen in the swell to the bottom left side of the boat. Unlike the the format of the image as it appears in the book as a 2-part diptych this print is in one part and thus appears to be a later printing. Many scholars consider this image to be the sequel or companion piece to the world-famous masterpiece "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" which the artist created not long before. It has been commented that if turned upside down the print can be seen as an alternate version of the "Great Wave" where the wave the sea and the mountain have merged. Text in Japanese printed in the upper left corner of the print.<br /> <br /> The print is in near fine condition and housed in modern protective mylar.

Red leather elaborately decorated in gilt with black highlights. Still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap & shipping box. The original Easton Press selling price for this volume now out-of-print was $240. <br /> <br /> Matthi Forrer b. 1948 is the Siebold Professor of Material Culture of Pre-modern Japan at Leiden University. <br /> <br /> "In my research I focused on the introduction of the Western linear perspective in Japan where it suddenly appears in Japanese popular woodblock prints from around 1740. Initially I mainly investigated recent theories Kishi 1994; Oka 1999 suggesting that this perspective may have been introduced through China – quod non. I then studied the early development of Western perspective as it was handled by a number of Japanese artists in the course of the 18th century more specifically in the designs for woodblock prints by Okumura Masanobu Maruyama ÅŒkyo Utagawa Toyoharu and Katsushika Hokusai as well as in the etchings of AÅdÅ Denzen as another technique introduced into Japan through the VOC the Dutch East India Company." Forrer <br /> <br /> "This expansive authoritative and deluxe monograph offers a wide-ranging examination of one of Japan's most celebrated artists. In "Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji" Hokusai created an iconic work that includes universally recognized and beloved images of the Japanese landscape. The same broad perspective and attention to detail is brought to bear in this monumental book that follows the full spectrum of Hokusai's life and work. From his first prints to his most accomplished productions including drawings and paintings each stage of Hokusai's artistic development is presented within the context of Japanese cultural history. In addition to placing him among contemporaries from his native country the book discusses the profound influence Hokusai had on European artists particularly the Impressionists. Matthi Forrer one of the world's leading authorities on the artist vibrantly interweaves brilliant reproductions from every period of Hokusai's life with fascinating commentary. Presented in a luxurious large-format edition the book offers a comprehensive perspective combined with the latest scholarly findings."--Publisher's website. The Easton Press hardcover
