Ukiyo-e Print The Road in Kazusa Province - Katsushika Hokusai

This reproduction of a ukiyo-e print illustrates "The Road in Kazusa Province", taken from the famous series of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. The plate depicts a large pink-tinted fishing vessel sailing on a blue sea, while the silhouette of Mount Fuji is outlined on the horizon. The composition emphasizes the maritime immensity against the unchanging presence of the volcano.

Created around 1830 by the artist Katsushika Hokusai, this work demonstrates mastery of polychrome woodblock printing. The author's intention is part of an encyclopedic approach to representing Japanese landscapes. The graphic style is characterized by a precise line and expressive use of color, typical of the late Edo period.

Intended for lovers of Japanese art and historical geography, this plate constitutes a major visual document. It fits perfectly into a collection of classical landscapes or as sober wall decoration. Observing the technical details of the original engraving is facilitated by the quality of this faithful reproduction.
