A woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, 'Mitsui Shop on Suruga Street in Edo' shows a bustling commercial street with Mount Fuji in the background. This work captures the essence of Edo-period urban life.
This print by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is from a series titled 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'. It depicts the Mitsui dry goods store in Suruga Street, Edo (now Tokyo). The viewpoint is from a slightly elevated position, looking down the street towards Mount Fuji in the distance. The composition is dominated by the angular roofs of the buildings, with figures on the rooftops appearing small in comparison to the architecture and the distant mountain. Two kites fly above the buildings, adding a sense of depth and perspective to the scene. The signage on the shops is clearly visible, providing a snapshot of commercial life in Edo-period Japan. The print demonstrates Hokusai's skill in capturing both the grandeur of nature and the details of urban life. The colour palette is restrained, with blues, creams, and yellows used to create a sense of atmosphere and depth. The scene is a blend of everyday life and the iconic presence of Mount Fuji, a common theme in Hokusai's work.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
