Fine Wind, Clear Morning

Fine Wind, Clear Morning
Start with Fuji at its largest. Red slopes and a few fingers of snow give the mountain almost the whole picture, while long, narrow clouds make the sky seem to flow across it. This is the calm print to keep in mind when you look at the storm in the next view.

Rainstorm Beneath the Summit

Rainstorm Beneath the Summit
Look low on the mountain to find the lightning. Hokusai leaves the summit clear and sends a jagged flash across the dark slope instead. Compare the compact clouds and speckled red flank with the long bands of cloud in Red Fuji: the mountain’s familiar shape carries a very different kind of weather.

Ejiri in Suruga Province

Ejiri in Suruga Province
Follow the sheets of paper blown out over the path. Hokusai makes a gust visible through their scatter, the bending trees and travellers leaning into it. Fuji is barely more than an outline. Once you spot it, that almost motionless line makes the commotion in front feel stronger.

Kajikazawa in Kai Province

Kajikazawa in Kai Province
The angler’s bent back, the line and the rock under his feet form a rough triangle. Find the same shape again in Fuji on the far horizon. In this blue impression the echoes of colour and shape connect a small act of work on the river to the distant mountain.

Mishima Pass in Kai Province

Mishima Pass in Kai Province
The great tree trunk interrupts the middle of the view. Notice the people at its base and then look up for Fuji, which peeps out beyond it. Where Red Fuji made the mountain enormous by removing human scale, this print asks you to compare it with something a traveller can stand beside.

Under Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa

Under Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa
The arched bridge offers an obvious path for your eye, but look through the opening underneath. Fuji is tucked into the distance beyond the boats and supports. It is a satisfying last view because the huge, immovable mountain has shrunk to a detail within the daily traffic of a city.
