葛飾北斎「桜花に富士図」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Mount Fuji with Cherry Trees in Bloom

This work shows signs of genius, even though he was still a relatively obscure ukiyo-e artist at the time. Featuring two major motifs, each an image of the Japanese people, the gracefully drawn cherry trees and Mount Fuji are recognized by admirers as an outstanding masterpiece. Delicate color schemes and frequent use of embossing are elaborately executed throughout the piece. Privately commissioned for clients with sophisticated tastes, it was thought to be and still is a deluxe production.

Hokusai produced his very first print in 1779 at the age of twenty. It was an actor print in the hosoban format signed Katsukawa Shunro. He built his career by creating more actor prints but was mainly active as a book illustrator.Hokusai also produced paintings throughout his life and his works surpassed those of other ukiyo-e masters in terms of both quality and quantity. He began to draw designs for large, single-sheet prints after the age of seventy. At this time he also started to produce landscape and flowers and birds prints; late in life he did however again concentrate on book illustrations and paintings. In summary Hokusai can be said to have contributed greatly to the field of ukiyo-e in a variety of ways.
