Storm below Mount Fuji (Sanka no haku u), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)
Katsushika Hokusai Japanese
Not on view
This is one of Hokusai's most celebrated works. A thunderstorm, indicated by a bolt of red lightning, dramatizes the sudden change from a cloud-filled summer sky to the murky violence that disturbs all below Mount Fuji.
Katsushika Hokusai, one of the world's most creative artists, embodied an extraordinary sensitivity toward nature and a keen perception of humanity.
