Kajikazawa in Kei Province (Koshu Kajikazawa) From the series, Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji, Katsushika Hokusai, 1760 – 1849, Eijudo, Woodblock print in colored ink on paper, A fisherman and his young apprentice are perched on an overhanging cliff, being crushed by violent waves. The foamy water resembles that of the famous Great Wave off Kanagawa. The serenity of Mt. Fuji rising above the fog balances out the turbulent seas. The fisherman’s posture and his extended lines, cast out, copy the triangle form of Mt. Fuji. This symmetry is often seen in many of Hokusai’s prints.
