Fuji Seen from Kanaya on the Tōkaidō (Tōkaidō Kanaya no Fuji), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

ca. 1830–32
Not on view
The vibrant, stylized design of this print, particularly the turbulent play of color and line used to compose the river and the travelers crossing it, threatens the integrity of the monochrome mountain beyond. The rhyming and analogizing of form and color that figure so prominently in Hokusai's style are virtually absent from this image of explosive color and line.
