1834
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji: The Surface of Lake Misaka in Kai Province is a 1834 by Katsushika Hokusai, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet lake with a small boat floating near the shore. Behind it, a snowy mountain rises sharply, surrounded by green hills dotted with trees and tiny houses. The sky is pale blue, blending softly with the mountain’s white peak. The artist used simple lines and flat colors to create a peaceful, balanced scene. The boat’s tiny size makes the landscape feel vast and calm. Next, look up Katsushika Hokusai to see how he painted other famous views.
Mount Fuji is reflected in the clear water of the lake.
