About this artwork
Hokusai made this colour woodblock print in the early 1830s, during Japan's Edo period. It shows Mount Fuji as a shower sweeps in, with dark clouds covering most of the base and lower slope. Hokusai probably designed it to go alongside his Mt. Fuji in Clear Weather, so that the mountain's majesty could be seen under different skies. The print belongs to the tradition of ukiyo-e, the Japanese art of the woodblock print, in which Hokusai worked as both painter and printmaker.
On your wall: Its dark clouds and the mountain's form suit a study, living room or hallway, particularly in calm, understated interiors that favour Japanese art and landscape subjects.

About Katsushika Hokusai
Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese painter and printmaker who worked in the ukiyo-e tradition during the Edo period. He helped widen the style beyond portraits of courtesans and actors to include landscapes, plants and animals. His series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which includes The Great Wave off Kanagawa, influenced Van Gogh and Monet.
