South Wind, Clear Sky, de Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji
Katsushika Hokusai
início de 1830
Uma montanha, três cores principais, quase nenhum detalhe — esta é a gravura que as pessoas chamam de 'Fuji Vermelho'. Hokusai tinha cerca de setenta anos quando a fez; a série de paisagens que o tornou mundialmente famoso surgiu nas duas últimas décadas de sua vida.

Hokusai was about seventy when he made this.
KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI South Wind, Clear Sky, from Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji early 1830s · The Cleveland Museum of Art
This landscape series made him famous,
so popular that 'Thirty-Six Views' grew to forty-six.
Yet this one leaves almost everything out:
one mountain, one band of cloud, three main colours.
Even the red slope still carries the grain of the woodblock.
At seventy, Hokusai dared to leave the rest out.
A float mount keeps the whole sheet and its margins in view.
