The Amida Falls in the Far Reaches of the Kisokaidō Road by Katsushika Hokusai
The Amida Falls derives its name from the Amida Buddha, and Hokusai makes the association visual: the waterfall splits into three descending streams that together suggest the halo of the Amitabha figure. Surrounded by vertiginous cliffs and deep forest, the composition is among the most structurally ambitious in the Tour of Waterfalls series. The interplay of bold outline, subtle colour wash, and precise spatial depth shows Hokusai at full command of the ukiyo-e medium.
Printed as an archival fine art print in our Berlin studio, the intricate triple-cascade composition and surrounding rocky landscape are captured with sharp line fidelity and archival colour permanence. Oak, black, or walnut framing options available.
