Exhibition Overview
Hokusai depicted mountains throughout Japan, from Mount Fuji, now a worldwide treasure, to the hundred famous peaks, still popular today, and even to Mount Tempō, an artificial mountain built in Osaka in Hokusai’s day. The context behind Hokusai’s alpine work was the deep connection, dating from long before modern mountaineering began, between the people of Japan and its mountains, which they climbed as an act of religious faith or to make their livings. Through Hokusai’s depictions of mountains, we introduce mountain religions, alpine occupations, legends, and tales of the supernatural. As we examine the ties between Japan’s people and its mountains, we also explore Hokusai’s diverse, and fascinating, renderings of mountains.
