For the first time in over twenty years, a complete set of Katsushika Hokusai’s seminal woodblock print series, ‘Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji’ (Fugaku Sanjūrokkei), will be available for purchase at Christie’s in their Japanese and Korean Art sale on 19 March.
Art Peritus is honored to be representing the seller of this rare set that hails out of a significant American collection. The set comprises the original series of thirty-six prints from circa 1831, including the three most sought-after views: ‘The Great Wave Off Kanagawa,’ ‘South Wind, Clear Sky’ (Red Fuji), and ‘Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit.’ In addition, the set is accompanied by the ten extremely rare ‘supplementary’ prints produced between 1831 and 1934. Considered a major highlight of Asia Week, Christie’s has extensively showcased the prints over the past six months, with previews held in New York, Hong Kong, and Paris.
