Ukiyo-e illustration expressing the harmony between art and nature - Fuji in Fukagawa by Katsushika Hokusai

Fuji Seen through Mannen Bridge in Fukagawa (深川万年橋下, Fukagawa Mannen-bashi shita) is a Japanese woodblock print by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai . This work immerses us in the daily life of the Fukagawa district. Under the imposing arch of Mannen Bridge, workers pull their boats and go about their tasks. In the background, Mount Fuji appears, almost serene, between the bridge piers. Hokusai uses this contrast between the bustling scene of human labor and the peace of the mountain to emphasize the relationship between man and nature, embedded in the Japanese landscape.

This print is part of Hokusai's 36 Views of Mount Fuji, in which he celebrates not only the beauty of the famous volcano, but also its omnipresence in the lives of Japanese people. Each print presents a new, often unexpected, perspective of this sacred mountain. Here, Fuji, captured between architectural elements that were modern for the time, reinforces the encounter between tradition and change, highlighting Japan's evolution while preserving its attachment to nature.

Meticulously reproduced, this poster brings a connection to Japanese culture and Hokusai's art to your space. The richness of detail and contrast make this work an elegant addition to your decor, combining history with a timeless aesthetic.
