Description
Pilgrim in front of Mount Fuji. Yashima Gakutei, 1823.
Pilgrim in front of Mount Fuji, is a surimono ukiyo-e woodblock print by the Japanese artist Yashima Gakutei, a pupil of Hokusai.
Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries that produced woodblock prints and paintings of individuals as female beauties, kabuki actors or sumo wrestlers and scenes from history and folk tales, travel scenes and landscapes, etc.
Surimono was an exquisite and experimental genre of Ukiyo-e. Surimono were often more experimental in subject matter and treatment, and extravagant in printing technique, than commercial prints.
Woodblock printing in Japan was used in single art sheets and also for book printing during the Edo period (1603–1868). Similar to Western woodcut printmaking, it used water-based inks instead of oil-based.
