About this work

Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849)
Year: c. 1830–1832
Medium: Woodblock print; ink and color on paper
Original size: 25.4 × 38.1 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (impression JP1327; many other impressions exist)
Movement: Ukiyo-e
Series: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji

A fisherman stands at the very tip of a rock jutting into a churning river, leaning back on his lines, with a boy crouched behind him, while waves break into white foam below. Above the mist, the outline of Mount Fuji is drawn in a few faint lines. The print belongs to Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō). Kajikazawa is on the Fuji River in Kai province, and Hokusai builds the whole design on the triangle of rock and fisherman echoing the mountain. It is one of the most admired prints in the series; impressions vary in colour and condition.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Deep Prussian blue water and white foam with a faint Fuji, for a study, den or bathroom at 24×16 in natural wood. It pairs with At Sea off Kazusa for two prints of people on the water.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×16. Prints at 18×12, 24×16 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Kajikazawa in Kai Province in the public domain?

Yes. Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 18×12 and 24×16 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Kajikazawa in Kai Province painted, and in what medium?

Kajikazawa in Kai Province dates from c. 1830–1832 and was made in woodblock print; ink and color on paper; the original measures 25.4 × 38.1 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×16 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 18×12 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Kajikazawa in Kai Province we'd choose 24×16. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
