A sudden gust sweeps across an open marsh: travellers on a winding path clutch their hats and bend into the wind, a woman's sheets of paper fly away into the sky, and a hat spins through the air. The trees bend, and Mount Fuji is drawn only as a single thin outline on the horizon. The print belongs to Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō). Ejiri was a post town on the Tōkaidō road in Suruga province. Hokusai captures a single moment of weather and movement, with the mountain reduced to its simplest form; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Soft greens and cream under a pink sky with flying papers, for a hallway, study or home office at 36×24 in natural wood. It pairs with Tago Bay near Ejiri on the Tōkaidō, its neighbour on the same road.
