“Enoshima in the Sagami Province” is a landscape artwork by the renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai. This piece is part of the art movement known as Ukiyo-e and belongs to the series titled “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.” The artwork intricately portrays the scenic beauty of Enoshima, blending natural elements with human settlements.
In the artwork, a serene coastal village is depicted, set against a backdrop of lush greenery. The detailed houses and pathways suggest a tranquil yet vibrant community life. To the left, a dense collection of trees and foliage rises, providing a natural frame for the village. The gentle descent of the terrain leads to an expansive body of water, with a boat gently floating near the shore. On the right horizon, the majestic Mount Fuji stands tall, its snowy peak contrasting with the warm hues of the setting sun. The meticulous use of color and line work exemplifies the traditional Ukiyo-e style, capturing both the grandeur and intimacy of the landscape.
