冨嶽三十六景 東海道保土ケ谷|Hodogaya on the Tōkaidō (Tōkaidō Hodogaya), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) is a 1831 ink by Katsushika Hokusai, a Japonisme work, depicting Horse, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a lively scene near a river with tall pine trees framing the view. In the foreground, people are gathered—some sitting, others standing—while a few ride horses. One person on horseback holds a fan, and another sits on the ground with a parasol. In the distance, a mountain looms over flat land and a small village. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to create a sense of movement and depth. Notice how the trees lean inward, guiding your eye toward the mountain. Next, look up Katsushika Hokusai to see how he made landscapes feel alive.
Katsushika Hokusai spent his life in Edo, now Tokyo, where he drew and carved prints for a living.
