Teahouse at Koishikawa the morning after a snowfall by Katsushika Hokusai
Teahouse at Koishikawa the Morning After a Snowfall is one of the quietest and most intimate works in Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. Snow blankets the rooftops and garden of a modest teahouse while a woman leans from a window, filling a kettle with snow. Mount Fuji appears serenely in the far distance, reduced to a small, pale triangle – almost incidental. The composition's genius lies in this inversion: making the monumental mountain secondary to a simple domestic moment, rendering the whole scene in a palette of cool whites and muted indigos.
This archival fine art print from our Berlin studio captures the delicate snow-covered surfaces, the fine architectural lines of the teahouse, and the cool winter palette with the clarity and subtlety Hokusai's restrained composition requires.
