The artwork titled “Mishima pass in Kai province” is a distinguished piece by the artist Katsushika Hokusai, belonging to the Ukiyo-e movement. It falls under the genre of landscape and is part of the renowned series “Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji.” This artwork is currently housed in the Guimet Museum in Paris, France.
“Mishima pass in Kai province” is a meticulously crafted landscape that captures the essence of nature and daily life during Hokusai’s time. Dominated by a large, central tree with details of lush foliage, the scene includes smaller human figures engaged in various activities, adding a dynamic element to the composition. In the background, Mount Fuji majestically rises, its peak veiled in subtle clouds, contributing a profound depth to the artwork. The use of vibrant colors and precise lines is characteristic of the Ukiyo-e style, portraying both the grandeur of the natural world and the simplicity of human interaction within it.
