Description
A classic woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai depicting travellers caught in a sudden gust of wind near Mount Fuji.
Ejiri in Suruga Province is a woodblock print from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Hokusai depicts a group of travellers caught in a sudden gust of wind near the town of Ejiri. The composition focuses on the immediate reaction of the figures as their belongings, including papers and a hat, are swept into the air. The artist uses the diagonal lines of the path and the leaning trees to guide the viewer across the scene. Mount Fuji appears as a faint, distant outline in the background, providing a calm contrast to the chaotic activity in the foreground.
The print demonstrates Hokusai's mastery of motion and atmospheric conditions. The tall, slender trees bend under the force of the wind, mirroring the posture of the travellers who struggle to maintain their footing. The colour palette is restrained, relying on shades of blue, green, and soft ochre to define the terrain and the sky. This work is part of a series that redefined the genre of landscape prints in Japan, moving away from purely decorative subjects to capture specific moments of human interaction with the natural world.
Technically, the print shows the precision of the woodblock medium. The lines are clean and deliberate, allowing for the clear depiction of the swirling papers and the texture of the grasses. The use of negative space around the mountain allows the viewer to focus on the narrative of the travellers. This print remains a clear example of Hokusai's ability to balance human drama with the grandeur of the Japanese geography.

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.
