Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Starting in 1834, renowned 19th-century Japanese printmaker Hokusai began publishing his three-volume series of woodblock prints of Mt. Fuji. The original edition, known as the falconfeather edition, is here reproduced in a duotone process on ivory paper. The resulting plates demonstrate Hokusai's mastery of composition and of the monochrome technique that uses nothing but black and shades of grey. The lucid introduction and commentaries on the plates provide details of interest to specialists in the field, but the book is also suitable for general readers and interested laypersons. Kathryn W. Finkelstein, M.Ln., Cincinnati

Book Description
One Hundred Views of Mt. Fuji by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai is a work of unending visual delight. Considered Hokusai's masterpiece, this series of images captures the simple, elegant shape of Mount Fuji from every angle and in every context. With no more than delicate, engraved outlines and flat washes of gray, Hokusai displays his consummate virtuosity as a draftsman, printmaker, and compositional innovator. Seen behind hanging strips of cloth outside a dyer's shop, or through the close stems of swaying bamboo, Mt. Fuji takes on a variety of guises--at times majestic, ominous, and even occasionally comic--to reflect its multiform meaning within Japanese culture.
