拍品描述

PROPERTY FROM AN ENGLISH PRIVATE COLLECTION woodblock print, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjurokkei), signed Hokusai aratame Iitsu hitsu (Brush of Iitsu, changed from Hokusai), published by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudo), circa 1832, blue outline Horizontal oban: 25.3 x 37.1 cm, 10 by 14½ in. Men picnic beneath the celebrated cushion pine in the garden of Ryuganji Temple. In the lower left, a gardener rakes needles fallen from the surrounding young pines. Along the footpath, a father points towards Mount Fuji as his young son looks on, a cloth held between them. The mounded form of the cushion pine plays a subtle call-and-response with the conical shape of Mount Fuji. A similar impression of the same print is in the collection of the British Museum, museum number 1937,0710,0.141, go to: https://ukwebnative.sothebys.com/ezx/view?id=22873396
