It belongs to Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji (富岳三十六景), the iconic series by ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai, and takes the form of Owari no Fujimi-hara (尾州不二見原). Celebrated for its masterful composition and profound artistic conception, it stands as a classic exemplar of ukiyo-e art. In the artwork, a craftsman is utterly absorbed in working on a massive wooden barrel, kneeling inside to refine the craftsmanship. Tools and materials are scattered around him, and his dedicated posture embodies the warmth of everyday urban life. In the distant background, Mount Fuji shimmers faintly on the horizon, creating a striking visual contrast between the grandeur of the natural landscape and the ordinary human labor in the foreground. This "depicting the grand through the trivial" compositional method is Hokusai’s signature approach to portraying Mount Fuji—he merges the timeless splendor of nature with the heartfelt toil of mundane life. This fusion not only highlights the enduring beauty of Mount Fuji but also allows viewers to perceive the simplicity and authenticity of civic life. As a legendary master in the ukiyo-e genre, Hokusai boasted an unparalleled creative style that exerted an indelible influence on the evolution of art in subsequent generations.
