内容简介

Mount Fuji has always stirred the imagination of artists. Many Japanese print artists, including Hokusai and Hiroshige, have attempted to capture the spirit of this mountain in their designs. This work offers an overview of the many faces of Mount Fuji as seen through the eyes of such artists. The prints are drawn from the holdings of Martin Dorhout, a long-standing collector of Japanese prints. In his introduction, Uhlenbeck presents Mount Fuji to the reader through its mythology, early portrayal, pilgrimage history and its depiction in Japanese prints. The catalogue contains further chapters on Mount Fuji from the Tokaido, Fuji and the Chushingura drama, Fuji and poetry (surimono), Fuji seen from Edo (present-day Tokyo) and "Fuji - the thirty six views". Descriptions of more than 100 prints have been complied by Merel Molenaar.
