| Re: "24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai" excerpts and ukiyo-e
"I compare the print with reality. Not bad this time. The horse and the man are absent from the shore, but there is a small boat out on the water . . . 'La navicella del mio ingegno' - 'the little bark of my wit' on which Dante hoisted sail for that second realm, Purgatory. Fuji then . . . Perhaps so. The hells beneath, the heavens above, Fuji between . . ."
and with the narrow navicella del mio ingegno, maybe I managed to resize the print correctly, this time... Moon!
We'll see...
The waves are a favourite feature of mine, here. And the mountain is coming to us.
