“Shichiri Beach in Sagami Province” is an exquisite piece by the renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai, belonging to the Ukiyo-e art movement. This landscape artwork is part of the illustrious series “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.”
The artwork depicts the tranquil expanse of Shichiri Beach with Mount Fuji majestically rising in the background. The scenery is rendered in Hokusai’s typical style, featuring delicate gradations of blue and green. To the left of Mount Fuji, clusters of foliage and trees anchor the landscape, while subtle waves ascend across the foreground. The serene palette and harmonious composition celebrate the natural beauty of the Sagami Province, encapsulating a serene moment in time. The gradation from warm hues in the sky to the cooler tones of the landscape evokes a sense of depth and tranquility, hallmark features of Hokusai’s mastery.
