Galerie Mont Kajikazawa in the province of Kai – Hokusai^ Hokusai

Kajikazawa in Kai province is a testament to Hokusai’s mastery of ukiyo-e. This painting depicts a fisherman in full effort, risking his life on a sharp rock as a tumultuous waterfall crashes around him. In the background, Mount Fuji, unassailable and peaceful, contrasts sharply with the scene of danger in the foreground. The subtle use of colour and attention to detail demonstrate Hokusai’s ability to juxtapose danger and serenity, while highlighting man’s intimate relationship with nature. While this work is a landscape, it also tells a story of courage and perseverance.
