Katsushika Hokusai: Storm below Mount Fuji (Sanka no haku u), ca. 1830–32

One of Katsushika Hokusai's most celebrated masterpieces from the iconic series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." This powerful woodblock print dramatizes the raw energy of nature. A striking bolt of red lightning cutting through the darkness indicates a sudden summer thunderstorm, contrasting the cloud-filled sky above with the murky violence that disturbs all below the mountain.

As one of the world's most creative artists, Hokusai embodies an extraordinary sensitivity toward nature and a keen perception of humanity in this timeless artwork.
