Dulwich Picture Gallery in London opens the first British exhibition of Katsushika Hokusai's complete "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," the iconic series of 18th-century Japanese woodblock prints. The show features multiple impressions of "Under the Wave off Kanagawa," widely known as the Great Wave, revealing details lost in reproductions. In the original prints, the towering wave with white foaming peaks dominates the composition, appearing as a threatening force over small boats and their occupants. The exhibition positions Mount Fuji, the solid cone visible beyond the turbulent water, as the true hero of the series rather than the dramatic wave itself. The prints depict varied scenes across the series, including river-crossers, tea-drinkers, and snowbound landscapes, all unified by the mountain as their anchor. Close viewing of the three different impressions of the Great Wave on display shows the violent energy of the water and emphasizes the vulnerability of the people in the boats, reframing the print's emotional core around human peril rather than aesthetic beauty alone. The exhibition underscores how the series functions as a meditation on the enduring and essential, with Mount Fuji offering "solace" against the chaos of nature and human struggle depicted across the works.
