Beskrivning
A classic woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai from his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, depicting a rural scene in the Meguro district.
Lower Meguro (Shimo Meguro) is a woodblock print from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, produced by Katsushika Hokusai during the Edo period. This series remains a primary example of the ukiyo-e genre, which focused on scenes of daily life, travel, and the natural world. Hokusai utilised the newly available Prussian blue pigment to achieve the deep, saturated tones seen in the sky and distant horizon, a technical choice that defined the aesthetic of his later career.
The composition depicts a rural scene in the Meguro district of Edo. In the foreground, thatched-roof farmhouses are nestled among terraced fields. Travellers navigate a winding path, providing a sense of scale and human activity against the rural backdrop. The eye is drawn towards the distant, snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji, which appears small but distinct on the horizon. The use of yellow ochre for the hillsides creates a contrast with the blue sky, while the simplified forms of the trees and structures demonstrate Hokusai's ability to reduce complex scenes into clear, graphic shapes.
Unlike many other prints in the series that focus on dramatic weather or extreme perspectives, this work captures a quiet, pastoral moment. The figures are rendered with minimal detail, yet their postures and movements suggest the rhythm of life in the countryside. The print demonstrates the precision of the woodblock carving process, where each colour block was aligned to create a cohesive image. This work offers a view into the geography of 19th-century Japan, documenting the relationship between the agrarian population and the iconic mountain that dominates the national consciousness. It is a representative piece of Hokusai's mastery over composition and colour, reflecting the technical standards of the Nishiki-e style.

Artist Biography
Katsushika Hokusai
Throughout his prolific career, Hokusai produced thousands of prints, sketches and illustrated books. He continually reinvented his style and identity, even adopting over 30 different artist names as his work evolved. His bold compositions, innovative use of perspective and striking colour palettes redefined Japanese printmaking. Hokusai's famed series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji showcases not just technical mastery, but a spiritual reverence for landscape and everyday life. His work depicted everything from serene rural scenes to mythological creatures and bustling cityscapes.
Hokusai's legacy transcended Japan, profoundly shaping Western art during the 19th century through the movement known as Japonisme. Artists like Monet, Van Gogh and Whistler drew direct inspiration from his compositions and sensibilities. Today, Hokusai is celebrated not only as one of Japan’s greatest artists, but as a bridge between Eastern and Western visual culture. His art continues to captivate modern audiences with its fluid lines, narrative depth and timeless exploration of the human connection to nature.
