Subject:One of pair? woodblocks? watercolors?
Posted By: lori Tue, Nov 03, 2015 IP: 173.70.84.6
Measures about 9.75x14.25 inches. I believe it is a woodblock, as opposed to a watercolor?


This is one of two which I am posting at the same time; please check the other post since they may be a pair.

I thank you in advance for any help you can give.

The artist is Hokusai and it from his series 36 Views of Mt Fuji. This series has been copied more than 1000 times. I will take a closer look and try to see if it is an repro or not.

Cheers,
Stan

Your print appears to be a repro of Hokusai's Hodogaya on the Tôkaidô (Tôkaidô Hodogaya), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjûrokkei). Here is a link to an original at the Boston MFA:
