Along the perimeter are various small temples, steles, and pinnacles. Hokusai illustrates the pilgrims as they move along the edge of the crater, facing slopes so steep that they must temporarily leave their headgear and staffs held below by other climbers, before retrieving them along the way.\u003cbr\u003eWhile being a highly imaginative vision, the rendering suggests the grandeur and danger, accentuating the sacredness and spectacularity of the mountain. The combination of symbolic, architectural, and natural elements makes this table an example of Hokusai's ability to merge myth, religion, and landscape into a powerful and theatrical representation of devotion to Fuji.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51989329117531,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/8110\/3766\/files\/HokusaiOneHundredViewsofMountFuji76.jpg?v=1767526343","url":"https:\/\/www.elenasalamon.com\/en\/products\/hokusai-katsushika-cento-vedute-del-monte-fuji-n-76-1836-1847","provider":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
