Details

The print Enoshima in Sagami Province was produced in ca. 1830-32 during the Edo period in Japan and classified as a print. It was printed on a Polychrome woodblock print; ink and colour on paper medium with dimensions of 10 1/8 x 14 7/8 in. (25.7 x 37.8 cm). In the Enoshima in Sagami Province print Hokusai depicted the five-story pagoda at Ryukoji Temple that is located in a distant view of the forest of young leaves.

The worshipers who visit the Temple are walking along the sandbar during the low tide of the sea. There are various inns and souvenir shops portrayed along the shore. The Enoshima in Sagami Province expresses the sparkle foaming of the waves striking the beaches and rocks in an Ukiyo-e style woodblock.

Historians, artists, and printmakers were fascinated by the Japanese tradition that The Mount Fuji had some secret powers for immortality that they chose to come up with ways of preserving that myth. Katsushika Hokusai was one of the most passionate of them all with over thirty pseudonyms and regarded as one of the most respected painting artists of the Edo period.

Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景 Fugaku Sanjūroku-kei, c. 1831) which includes the internationally iconic print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

Hokusai created the "Thirty-Six Views" both as a response to a domestic travel boom and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji. It was this series, specifically The Great Wave print and Fine Wind, Clear Morning, that secured Hokusai’s fame both in Japan and overseas. As historian Richard Lane concludes, "Indeed, if there is one work that made Hokusai's name, both in Japan and abroad, it must be this monumental print-series". While Hokusai's work prior to this series is certainly important, it was not until this series that he gained broad recognition.
