Catalog note / 解説

This is a nishiki-e (brocade print) and a fukei-ga (landscape print) from the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji from Edo', one of three masterful landscape series by Kuniyoshi dating from the Tempo era (1830-1844). Despite the series title, only five prints seem to have been published. Edo was the original name of today's Tokyo. Kuniyoshi's landscape prints often include figures viewed from oblique angles and juxtaposed against landscape. They also feature striking perspective techniques and abrupt changes of scale. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
