Hokusai's striking composition and the use of a blue color (Prussian blue) not only inspired another ukiyo-e painter Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-October 1858) to publish \u003ci\u003eTōkaidō goj\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eū-san tsugi\u003c\/i\u003e (The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road, 1833-1834) and his own \u003ci\u003eFuji sanjū rokkei\u003c\/i\u003e (Thirty-six Views of Mt.

Consequently, 'Japonism' (\u003ci\u003eJaponisme\u003c\/i\u003e in French) became a source of inspiration for many Western artists, and Hokusia's work specifically influenced such Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters as Claude Monet (1840-1926), Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), and James McNeil Whistler (1834-1903). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* * *\u003cbr\u003eThis new haiku collection (2025) presents original 46 haikus, corresponding to the 46 ukiyo-e woodblock prints in\u003ci\u003e Fugaku sanjū rokkei\u003c\/i\u003e, as a homage, along with appropriate season words per the Japanese calendar and annotations.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47575590830231,"sku":"9798275526691","price":1019.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798275526691.webp?v=1774898494","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/haikus-for-hokusais-thirty-six-views-of-mt-fuji-9798275526691","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
