The print Senju Musashi Province was produced between 1830 and 1832 during the Edo period (1615-1868) in Japan. It was printed on a woodblock print; ink and colour on paper with dimensions of 9 5/8 x 15 in. (24.4 x 38.1 cm) and classified as a print using the Ukiyo-e style. Senju was a post town that is believed to be the first one on the highways of Nikko-dochu and Oshu-dochu. The town prospered as one of the major postal station in Edo Distirict.
Hokusai portrays a farmer with a horse and the angler hand seemingly over the shade looking up to The Mount Fuji. They may be talking about the panoramic view of the mountain as the horse walks leisurely. The geometrical sluice gate is drawn in front to highlight the beauty of the mountain. The Japanese practice have an extreme frequency that allowed Katsushika Hokusai to transition up to thirty pseudonyms throughout his career.
Interestingly, each of the names correlated to a different period or style of his artwork. His surname Hokusai prevailed and united all the other surplus monikers into a legacy of a legendary artist, printmaker, and a painter who used an Ukiyo-e style. He had depicted an Ukiyo-e style wood block prints before he revolutionized into a medium of landscapes that has images which define the daily life of the Japanese culture.
Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景 Fugaku Sanjūroku-kei, c. 1831) which includes the internationally iconic print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
Hokusai created the "Thirty-Six Views" both as a response to a domestic travel boom and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji. It was this series, specifically The Great Wave print and Fine Wind, Clear Morning, that secured Hokusai’s fame both in Japan and overseas. As historian Richard Lane concludes, "Indeed, if there is one work that made Hokusai's name, both in Japan and abroad, it must be this monumental print-series". While Hokusai's work prior to this series is certainly important, it was not until this series that he gained broad recognition.
