Catalog note / 解説
Hokusai’s distinctive design shows unique shapes of pine trees functions as though they are lattices in the composition. Between the trees, a small Mount Fuji is visible in back. It is a great effect to attract people’s eyes. Hasui’s Matsushima scene (HAA# 19223) is similar in term of the arrangement of trees. The contrast beteen dark green of pine leafs and the fresh blue of ocean makes this attractive print. Hasui’s Kaiganji Beach print (HAA#19207)is considered to be a variant from his Matsushima print.
