About the Item

FUGAKU HYAKKEI (Views of Mt. Fuji) Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) Woodblock Print 1834-5 Edo period It signifies the long history and the aspirations of the race; it is a token of all the scenic beauty of the land, and, by inference, represents the impressionability of all the people to the beauties of nature. -B. Hillier It has often been felt that Hokusai had a spiritual ideal of the mountain. To him Mount Fuji would come to represent a powerful reservoir of immortality that would assist him in his personal quest to live beyond one hundred years of age and fathom ultimate artistic truths. So entranced by the mountains majesty, Hokusai chose the pseudonym ‘Manji’ which was written with a character symbolizing long-life and could also be read as ‘One hundred times one hundred”. This was a fitting signature for the work which he felt would grant him a life that spanned a century. This manifesto, signed ‘Manji’, accompanied Hokusai’s famous work: From the age of six, I had a penchant for copying the form of things, and from about fifty, my pictures were frequently published; but until the age of seventy, nothing that I drew was worthy of notice. At seventy-three years, I was somewhat able to fathom the growth of plants and trees, and the structure of birds, animals, insects and fish. Thus when I reach eighty years, I hope to have made increasing progress, and at ninety to see further into the underlying principles of things, so that at one hundred years I will have achieved a divine state in my art, and at one hundred and ten, every dot and every stroke will be as though alive. Those of you who live long enough, bear witness that these words of mine prove not false. Hokusai was seventy when he commenced working on the illustrations of Mount Fuji. He generously included many aspects of life in it. Most were to celebrate the industrious nature of his people and their reverence for nature’s wonders. With settings from land and sea, the revered mountain always is within view. Over the next several years, he would publish well over one-hundred views of the mountain. He died in his 90th year.
