Description
The print is part of Ogata Gekko's series 100 Views of Mount Fuji, an incredibly varied series with Mount Fuji always visible, even if only remotely such as in the current print. Still, Mount Fuji is visible and one person of the compagnie gathered on the Pagoda seems to watch it in the distance. Though the series consists of many great designs, the printing techniques used are simpler then many other prints of Ogata Gekko. For example, the current print does not use blindprinting or metallic pigments.
Condition notes
The print is in good condition. The print has good colors, but imperfections, mainly some spots visible in the sky area to the left of the pagoda. It retains old backing and has a number noted on the back in pencil. The margins of the print have been trimmed.
