冨嶽三十六景 山下白雨|Storm below Mount Fuji (Sanka no haku u), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) is a 1831 ink by Katsushika Hokusai, a Japonisme work, depicting Volcano, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In the painting, a majestic mountain rises in the background, its peak covered in snow. The mountain's slopes are depicted in shades of red and brown, with a subtle gradient effect. In the foreground, a dark landscape stretches out, punctuated by a few trees and a winding path. The sky above is a deep blue, with clouds gathering at the base of the mountain. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the woodblock print, with bold lines and vibrant colors. The artist's use of texture and shading creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the mountain's peak.
