Description

This vibrant woodblock print depicts the Ōi River at Kanaya — a post-town on the historic Tōkaidō highway linking Edo and Kyoto — where porters and travelers wade through the rushing, stylized blue-and-white currents carrying passengers and goods on their shoulders. The rhythmic, wave-like rendering of the river foreground draws the eye toward a procession of figures on the far bank, while the iconic snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji rises serenely in the upper left beneath a turquoise sky. This print belongs to Hokusai's celebrated series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' (Fugaku sanjūrokkei), one of the most influential bodies of ukiyo-e printmaking in Japanese art history.
