ANTIQUE JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINT BY KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI (1760-1849) TITLED WATERMILL AT ONDEN, 13.5IN

拍品描述

A classic Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai depicting?Waterwheel at Onden, one of the celebrated designs from the landmark series?Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. This appears to be a?later impression, likely?late 19th to early 20th century. The composition presents a large wooden waterwheel dominating the foreground, animated by laborers engaged in rural work, while?Mount Fuji?rises serenely in the distance?an iconic contrast between human industry and timeless nature. This design exemplifies Hokusai?s mature style, combining strong geometric structure, rhythmic linework, and carefully balanced color planes. The monumental circular form of the wheel is juxtaposed against Fuji?s distant triangular silhouette, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition that helped redefine landscape printing in Edo-period Japan and later influenced generations of Western artists. The vertical title cartouche at upper left reads??Fugaku Sanj_rokkei ? Onden no Suisha??(Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji ? Waterwheel at Onden). The print is executed on paper and represents a?later impression, produced for the collector market using original or recut blocks, rather than an early Edo-period first edition. It is double matted and framed under acrylic in a faux bamboo frame and it measures 13.5 inches x 14.5 inches. This piece was acquired from a Virginia estate.
