Red-crowned cranes stand and feed in the foreground while others fly across the sky, set against rolling green hills and soft bands of cloud. Behind them Mount Fuji rises in a deep blue, graded cone with a white summit. The print belongs to Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō). Umezawa lay in Sagami province, and cranes, emblems of long life, were a favoured subject alongside the mountain. The smooth gradation of blue on the mountain is one of the finest uses of bokashi 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 blue Fuji and soft green hills with white cranes, for a living room, bedroom or entrance hall at 24×16 in natural wood. It pairs with Hiroshige's Minowa, Kanasugi and Mikawashima for two prints of cranes.

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).
