For the first time, this exhibition has many highlights, such as displaying different versions of “冨嶽三十六景　山下白雨 (Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji – Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit)” side by side, and showing the first public fire bowls using woodblocks such as Hokusai’s Nishiki-e “桜に鷹 (Hawk on cherry blossoms)”.

Through many of Hokusai’s masterpieces, you will be able to enjoy Hokusai’s unique writing power and creativity while introducing the beauty of Japan’s four seasons and the sights around the Sumida River, which has been known as a tourist spot since the Edo period.

We will also exhibit ＜Katsushika Hokusai “桜に鷹 (Hawk on cherry blossoms)” and other four-sided wood fire bowls＞ using the original woodblocks that are believed to have been used in the production of the Nishiki-e “桜に鷹 (Hawk on cherry blossoms)”.

Hokusai’s three major nishiki-e series “冨嶽三十六景 (Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji)” 46 figures in total, “諸国瀧廻り (Waterfalls in various provinces)” all 8 figures, and “諸国名橋奇覧 (Spectacular views of famous bridges in various provinces)” all 11 figures. Will be exhibited in the first half and the second half.

In “冨嶽三十六景　山下白雨 (Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji – Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit)” (upper left), which is close to Hatsuri, the thunder in the lower right is sharply expressed with sharp lines. A pine forest is added to the foot of the mountain in the change map (left) that will be released for the first time.

“”隅田川両岸景色図巻 (Scenery on Both Banks of the Sumida River)” is a scroll of Hokusai handwriting of about 7m. It was missing for about 100 years, but it was acquired by Sumida Ward in 2015 and is now in the Sumida Hokusai Museum of Art.
In addition, a total of about 100 items such as nishiki-e, surimono, and printed books, which are worthy of being called “Korezo Hokusai”, which the Sumida Hokusai Museum is proud of, will be exhibited.
