Kajikazawa in Kai Province, ca. 1830–32

Katsushika Hokusai

Woodblock print; ink and color on paper · 10 x 15 in. (25.4 x 38.1 cm)

A fisherman braces against the same great wave motif on a rockier coast.

A fisherman casts his lines from a rocky spur as Mount Fuji rises through the mist beyond, the whole scene tuned to shades of blue. Hokusai balances human effort against serene nature in one of the quietest, most poetic prints of his Fuji series.
