A Japanese prisoner from Matsumae, captured right at Orankai, reportedly said that from there, on clear days, it was still possible to glimpse Mount Fuji.\u003cbr\u003eHokusai draws inspiration from this source to create a highly imaginative image, in which the Japanese mountain appears from an extreme distance: it is indeed the farthest view in the entire series, made even more remote by the way the artist reduces the Fuji crater to a pointed peak. Despite the reference to Korea, the clothing of the figure in the foreground does not correspond to Korean costumes (like those represented in plate no. 68), but rather resembles Chinese-style garments, as does the strange stone next to which the character stands. This confirms that Hokusai here also does not intend to represent a precise geographical context, but rather to evoke an exotic and distant place, almost an extreme edge of the continent, from which, however, the sacred mountain continues to symbolically dominate the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51989337407835,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/8110\/3766\/files\/HokusaiOneHundredViewsofMountFuji73.jpg?v=1767526879","url":"https:\/\/www.elenasalamon.com\/en\/products\/hokusai-katsushika-cento-vedute-del-monte-fuji-n-73-1836-1847","provider":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
