Hokusai: 100 Views of Mt. Fuji
by Henry D. Smith II
This is one of the first Western editions in which all images from Hokusai's renowned series One Hundred Views of Mt. Fuji are reproduced to scale and bound in a single volume. With its images, the books encapsulates the Japanese veneration for Mt. Fuji. The images contained between its covers enabled the viewer to make a Fuji-viewing pilgramage in the privacy of the home. Relying on engraved outline with flat washes of gray, the artist here exemplifies his innovative compositional skills and consummate virtuosity as a draftsman.
