The story
The companion piece to the Great Wave, and its opposite in every way: no people, no boats, no drama — just the mountain, filling the sheet, flushed red by the low sun of an early autumn morning. Hokusai reduces it to three elements laid in flat bands: a deep blue sky combed with mare’s-tail cloud, the ochre-red cone, and the dark forest skirting its base, with a few last streaks of snow in the gullies. The restraint is the achievement. It is the most confident print in the series, and among the most quietly monumental images in all of art.
