Yoshida on the Tōkaidō, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji

Dateca. 1830-32
Maker Katsushika Hokusai Japanese, 1760 - 1849
Label TextIn this image from Hokusai's celebrated Fuji series, the subject is less the mountain than the lively cast of characters assembled to admire it. The artist's mastery of figure drawing is apparent in these dynamic depictions, which recall his famous studies published under the title Hokusai manga. The thousands of sketches Hokusai produced in these volumes often found new life in his later prints.
