This is that rare volume that shows all of Katsushika Hokusai's forty-six views of Mount Fuji—the first thirty-six and the later ten—and all of them in full color. The Great Wave, with its enormous swoop of foaming water about to engulf small boats carrying cowering fishermen, is well known, and appears on its own in all sorts of publications. But the inclusion of all the other prints, each with Mt. Fuji somewhere in the landscape, presents the full dramatic impact of Hokusai's 1829-1833 meditation on the mountain. Printed on luxurious thick matte paper, the color palette, with blues and greens dominant, is at its restrained and subtle best. This edition is a must-have for anyone intrigued by Hokusai's monumental work.
