About this work

Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849)
Year: c. 1830–1832
Medium: Woodblock print; ink and color on paper
Original size: 24.4 × 36.5 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (impression JP18; many other impressions exist)
Movement: Ukiyo-e
Series: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji

A massive cedar trunk rises through the centre of the sheet, and three travellers join hands to try to reach around it, while others rest nearby with their loads. Behind the tree, Mount Fuji rises in a dark blue cone wreathed in curling white clouds. The print belongs to Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō). The Mishima pass crossed the mountains of Kai province on the road toward Fuji. The giant tree, cut off by the top of the sheet, is a bold vertical set right in front of the mountain; 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

Cool blue-green tones with a dark Fuji and billowing clouds, for a living room, study or hallway at 24×16 in natural wood. It pairs with The Inume Pass in Kai Province for two mountain passes.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

Very slightly cropped. This full-bleed edition prints the painting edge to edge, so a thin sliver, a few percent at most, is trimmed from two opposite edges to fit the print size. We only offer it on paintings whose proportions already come that close to the sheet. For the whole painting, uncropped, choose the gallery edition.

Is Mishima Pass 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 Mishima Pass in Kai Province painted, and in what medium?

Mishima Pass in Kai Province dates from c. 1830–1832 and was made in woodblock print; ink and color on paper; the original measures 24.4 × 36.5 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 Mishima Pass in Kai Province we'd choose 24×16. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
