Japanese volcano print Mount Fuji

"The storm beneath the top" by Katsushika Hokusai

This reproduction of a print that depicts Mount Fuji under a volcanic and stormy appearance is in fact a work by one of the greatest Japanese masters of the ukiyo-e. This painting is called "The storm beneath the summit" and belongs to a series of prints called "Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji" that Hokusai made in the 1830s.

As with the entire canvases of this series, we find the famous Prussia blue in the sky that contrasts the clouds present on the horizon of the volcano. But what gives color and character to this painting is mainly the red of the volcano that gives it a dangerous and powerful appearance in front of the small decor.

The writings on the left are the title of the table as well as the signature of Hokusai.

AtTENTION: The frame is not supplied with the canvas, so we leave 4 to 5 centimetres of margin on each edge so that we can add a reinforcement.

• Material: This reproduction is a high definition waterproof canvas print made of cotton and polyester. This texture and the thickness of this paper are particularly suitable for the reproduction of prints and thus ensure a great fidelity to the original work.
