Information

Hokusai Katsushika 1830-1832

36 views of Mt Fuji - Owari province

You probably know Hokusai as the artist behind those ukiyo-e waves you see everywhere, but I prefer his 36 views series. Theyre snapshots of local life around 19th century Japan with Fuji-san in the background of each to tie them all together.

To my friend Eiko

Kindness, youthful, zest for life

Ishizuchi Go.

Revealed in silence

Discovered in solitude

All from emptiness.

Our daily ride home

Behind blossoming bouquets

School is not so bad.

Where have you come from?

Distant lands or steam of soup?

Softly greeting me.

We found each other

Within space infinity

Time eternity.
