大英博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (大英博物館Instagram)「❄ Sparkling white trees, soft sunlight and a crisp chill in the air – who doesn’t love waking up to a fresh blanket of snow? ❄ This frosty scene, entitled ‘Morning after a snowfall at Koishikawa’ was created by the celebrated Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. It perfectly captures the childlike wonder of discovering that snow has fallen overnight – one woman leans excitedly from the window of an inn, pointing to the snowcapped Mt Fuji in the distance 🗻 It is one print from a series of thirty-six, which all depict the beautiful Mt Fuji throughout the changing seasons. Hokusai was 72 when he began his ‘Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji’ – the series also features his iconic print, popularly called the ‘Great Wave’ 🌊 A beautiful early example of the ‘Great Wave’ and this ‘Morning after a snowfall’ will both be on display in our international touring exhibition ‘Beyond the Great Wave: works by Hokusai from the British Museum’ which opens at the @bowersmuseum in California on Saturday 21 October. Hokusai's works are subjective and sublime - visitors will be able to examine his artistic expression through over 100 prints, books and objects, several of which have never been seen internationally before 🌍 🌊 Read more about the exhibition via the link in our bio. 🔎 Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), ‘Morning after a Snowfall at Koishikawa’ from the series ‘Thirty-six Views of Mt.
