The artwork titled “Pictorial Envelope for Hokusa” was created by the esteemed artist Katsushika Hokusai. It belongs to the Ukiyo-e art movement and falls under the genre of illustration. This particular piece is part of the renowned series “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”.
The artwork features a minimalist depiction that includes slender, vertical lines representing the fringes of a grassy landscape or possibly reeds. The scene is tranquil, with a few simplified human figures engaged in activities such as paddling and navigating the waters in rudimentary wooden boats. The presence of Mount Fuji is subtly illustrated in the background, setting a harmonious tone inherent to Hokusai’s style. The composition is meticulously balanced, exemplifying the elegance and restraint characteristic of Ukiyo-e illustrations.
