The artwork titled “View of the Beach at Low Tide Noboto from the Coast to Gyôtoku” by Katsushika Hokusai, a prominent figure in the Ukiyo-e art movement, is a landscape depiction housed in the Guimet Museum in Paris, France.
This exquisite landscape portrays a serene coastal scene at low tide. Rolling hills dominate the foreground, covered with lush, textured vegetation, leading down to a tranquil shoreline. Distant green hills and a calm sea stretch into the horizon, where a solitary mountain forms a gentle silhouette against the sky. Closer to the shore, small, traditional structures dot the coastline, suggesting a quiet, secluded village life. The sky above is lightly toned with subtle clouds, and a formation of birds flies gracefully, enhancing the peaceful ambiance of the scene. The harmonious blend of colors and meticulous detailing exhibit Hokusai’s mastery in capturing the essence of nature’s beauty.
