Travellers of all kinds cross a plank bridge over a stream: a woman with a basket on her head, a man carrying buckets on a pole, a pilgrim with a box on his back and others with loads, while below the bridge a man works in the water. A stone marker stands by the path, and above dark bands of cloud Mount Fuji rises white and blue. The print is one of the ten additional views Hokusai added to his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō), and like the others it is printed with black outlines. Nakahara was a village in Sagami province, south-west of Edo. Hokusai fills the foreground with the bustle of ordinary country life; 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
Soft cream fields and blue water with a white Fuji above dark clouds, for a hallway, study or home office at 24×36 in natural wood. It pairs with Fuji from the Katakura Tea Fields in Suruga for two scenes of country life.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. 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).
