A large bird-shaped kite, identifiable as a \u003cem\u003etonbi\u003c\/em\u003e (black kite), soars in the sky, its string describing a surprisingly harmonious line parallel to the slope of Fuji.\u003cbr\u003eThe composition, which offers a view through the city rooftops, is particularly close in conception and structure to the one dedicated to Tanabata (no. 12), with which it shares the attention to urban landscape details and the visual dialogue between the foreground elements and the mountain in the background. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52893328343387,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/8110\/3766\/files\/HokusaiOneHundredViewsofMountFuji66.jpg?v=1777458529","url":"https:\/\/www.elenasalamon.com\/en\/products\/hokusai-katsushika-cento-vedute-del-monte-fuji-n-66-1834","provider":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
