The artwork titled “Fuji seen through the Mannen bridge at Fukagawa” was created by Katsushika Hokusai, a prominent artist within the Ukiyo-e art movement. It belongs to the landscape genre and is part of the series “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”.
In the artwork, Mount Fuji is depicted in the background, seen through the architectural frame of the Mannen Bridge. The scene is bustling with activity, as people traverse the wooden bridge, and boats are seen navigating the calm waters below. The bridge, strikingly arched, connects two lush green spaces adorned with trees and buildings. The sky, a subtle gradient of blue hues, complements the serene landscape, capturing a tranquil yet vibrant moment in time.
