This artwork is Ejiri in Suruga Province (also known as Sunshu Ejiri), designed around 1830-1832. It is another legendary print from the celebrated series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai. This design is a masterclass in capturing invisible motion. It shows travelers caught in a sudden, powerful gust of wind along a path through a marsh. The wind blows hats away, scatters tissues like birds into the sky, and bends the tall trees dramatically against a serene, minimalist silhouette of Mount Fuji. • Flawless Paper Condition: The paper is smooth, flat, and uniformly cream-colored, with perfectly sharp, crisp outer edges that lack the typical antique mounting remnants, wormholes, or edge tears found on 19th-century originals. • Crisp Line-Work: The hundreds of tiny, individual blades of marsh grass and the delicate, scattering pieces of paper are rendered with absolute sharpness. On original Edo-period blocks, these tiny raised details quickly wore down or chipped after repeated printings. Title and Signature Blocks (Top-Left) • Series Title：富嶽三十六景（Fugaku Sanjurokken） - "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji". • Print Title：駿州江尻（Sunshu Ejir）- "Ejiri in Suruga Province". • Signature：前北為一筆（Sakino Hokusailitsu hitsu) - "From the brush of litsu, the former Hokusai." • The blue ink stamp on reverse belongs to the Japan Ukiyo-e Preservation Association（日本浮世給保存会- Nihon Ukiyo-e Hozonkai), specifically their Distribution Department（普及部 - Fukyubu） • Active primarily in the mid-to-late 20th century, this organization was dedicated to keeping traditional printmaking alive by commissioning Japan's top master carvers and printers to create highly accurate recuts. • The address and phone number on the stamp match the Yurakucho district in Chiyoda, Tokyo, confirming it as an official release from their high-quality educational/revival series. This association mark serves as a guarantee of master-level twentieth-century craftsmanship. While not a 1830s original, it confirms the print was hand-made using authentic cherry wood blocks and organic pigments, meticulously matching Hokusai's original color schemes. Condition: Used.
