The title mentions Jaoinuma, or Hebioinuma, “swamp of snake hunting,” probably a proper name: however, the location has never been identified and seems to generically indicate a marshy environment. \u003cbr\u003eOn the left, a curious open structure appears close to the water, perhaps a platform for performances or for moon observation. The reflection of Fuji appears enlarged and asymmetric, an optical improbability that reveals Hokusai's interest in the imaginative possibilities of mirroring on water. The idea has a clear precedent and a variant in the drawing \u003cem\u003eKōshū Misaka suimen\u003c\/em\u003e from the series \u003cem\u003eThirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji\u003c\/em\u003e, where the mountain is reflected on the surface of Lake Misaka, one of the five lakes around Fuji, as well as in the famous summer view of Lake Kawaguchi, where the irregular silhouette of the mountain transforms in the mirror of water into a snow-covered Fuji in winter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51976021672283,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/8110\/3766\/files\/HokusaiOneHundredViewsofMountFuji101.jpg?v=1767279598","url":"https:\/\/www.elenasalamon.com\/en\/products\/hokusai-katsushika-cento-vedute-del-monte-fuji-n-101-1836-1847","provider":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
