Taschen is releasing an impressive book featuring Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. This collection is renowned for its woodblock prints, with "The Great Wave" being the most famous. The series showcases Hokusai's fascination with Mount Fuji and the rise of domestic tourism during the late Edo period. Mount Fuji served as a constant and cherished backdrop for travelers, much like it did for those journeying to Edo via the Tōkaidō road. Hokusai masterfully depicted the unique landscapes and local charm of each location. He utilized a vibrant color palette and meticulous detail in his artwork. The series, including the iconic "Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa," is considered a significant contribution to international art history. An XXL edition of the book is currently available from various retailers at different price points. A smaller, more affordable version will be released in a few months and is available for pre-order. The book celebrates both art and the cultural significance of Mount Fuji.
