About this work

Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849)
Year: c. 1830–1832
Medium: Woodblock print; ink and color on paper
Original size: 24.4 × 37.9 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (impression JP25; many other impressions exist)
Movement: Ukiyo-e
Series: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji

A huge squared timber is propped up at a steep angle on a trestle, with one sawyer standing on top and another working beneath it, while a third man sharpens a saw and smoke from a fire billows up to the right. Through the frame of the trestle, a snow-capped Fuji appears among clouds. The print belongs to Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō). Tōtōmi province lay to the west of the mountain, in timber country. Hokusai frames the mountain with the strong diagonal of the log and the lines of the trestle; impressions vary in colour and condition.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A bold diagonal of pale timber against soft blue and brown, for a study, workshop or home office at 16×24 in natural wood. It pairs with Fujimigahara in Owari Province for two craftsmen at work.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

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 exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is In the Mountains of Tōtōmi 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 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 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 In the Mountains of Tōtōmi Province painted, and in what medium?

In the Mountains of Tōtōmi Province dates from c. 1830–1832 and was made in woodblock print; ink and color on paper; the original measures 24.4 × 37.9 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For In the Mountains of Tōtōmi Province we'd choose 16×24.
