Hokusai's Mount Fuji

An enduring theme of Hokusai's work.

To say Mount Fuji features in many of Hokusai's paintings is an understatement and this beautiful from Thames and Hudson brings all these works together. With the surrounding area constantly changing, Fuji itself doesn't change, enhancing the belief that the mountain holds the secret to eternal life and that it would confirm Hokusai's belief that painting the mountain so obsessively would bring the artist immortality through his images.
