Hokusai – Blue Fuji (reprint) (Hokusai Katsushika – Ao Fuji)

Reprint on Washi paper.

The print is from a limited edition of 200, printed from newly carved blocks by publisher Unsodo in the year 2020. These blocks are now part of the collection of the Mogi Honke Museum of Fine Art. This is why the print is numbered in the lower right corner, and why no further reprints from these blocks are expected.

The design is a variant of the ‘Fine Wind, Clear Morning’ print, on offer here . The first blue variant impression was made around 1830. Whereas the Red Fuji utilizes more real-life colors and focusses on the red color that the Mount Fuji can have during sunrise under the right weather conditions, the variant impression uses mainly blue colors, leading to its name ‘Blue Fuji’. The current print is exceptionally well made.

Image size (excluding margins): 25 * 38 cm.

Please note that each print is unique. Since of some prints we have multiple copies, the pictures displayed here can differ slightly from the actual print.
