Galerie Mont Reflection of Mount Fuji in Lake Kawaguchi – Hokusai^ Hokusai

Reflection of Mount Fuji in Lake Kawaguchi is a masterly demonstration of Hokusai’s mastery of ukiyo-e. The painting shows Mount Fuji, imposing and solemn, silhouetted perfectly against the calm waters of Lake Kawaguchi. The harmony of colours, from the soft hues of the sky to the blue of the water, creates a peaceful, meditative atmosphere. The meticulous details of the hills and reflections show the artist’s attention to detail. By choosing a close perspective and precise framing, Hokusai succeeded in creating a work that, although a landscape, transcends the genre to offer an almost spiritual experience of the natural world.
