"Tea house at Koishikawa. The morning after a snowfall" is an iconic woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) in the early 19th century. This print belongs to the series "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji," a collection of prints that explore the changing beauty of Mount Fuji under various weather conditions and perspectives.
In this artwork, Hokusai captures the tranquility and serenity of the morning after a snowfall in Koishikawa, a region of Tokyo. See more
A traditional Japanese teahouse is the focal point of the composition, with the majestic Mount Fuji rising in the background, partially obscured by snow-laden branches.
The soft colors and delicate details, such as footprints in the fresh snow and trees bending under the weight of the snow, create an atmosphere of calm and contemplation. The print evokes the fleeting beauty of nature and the quietude that follows a snowfall, a scene that holds significance in Japanese culture.
"The Teahouse at Koishikawa, the Morning after a Snowfall" is a striking example of Hokusai's artistic mastery and his ability to capture the poetry of everyday Japanese life.
