Description

This dramatic Japanese woodblock print captures Mount Fuji rising through dark storm clouds, its iconic volcanic cone rendered in deep crimson and burgundy tones while jagged lightning bolts strike the dark foreground slopes. Part of Hokusai's celebrated series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' (Fugaku Sanjūrokkei), produced around 1830–1832, this print — commonly known as 'Rainstorm Beneath the Summit' — depicts Japan's most revered peak, Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, during a sudden summer thunderstorm. The vivid contrast of red mountain, white billowing clouds, and bold indigo sky exemplifies the expressive power of Hokusai's ukiyo-e printmaking style.
