The story of this print

Everyone who has walked into a sudden wind knows this print. On the Tokaido road near Ejiri, where the highway crosses open marsh, a gust has just hit a party of travellers: they crouch and clutch their hats, a woman’s bundle of tissue papers explodes into the sky like a flock of birds, a straw hat sails off toward the reeds, and two thin trees bend double. Behind all of it, drawn in a single pale outline, Mount Fuji does not move.

It is the funniest sheet in Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and one of the most admired for its drawing: a dozen figures, each caught in a different posture, on a road that curves off into nothing. The palette is spare — grey-green marsh, a blue band of sky, the pale mountain — and the scattered white papers are the only bright thing in it.

The Library of Congress impression is early and has toned to a soft brown; we have kept the tone, cleaned the sheet and restored the line without redrawing. The 2:3 proportion of the sheet fits our 12×18, 16×24, 20×30 and 24×36 sizes exactly.

Printed to order on archival matte paper or canvas, framed in the country of delivery.

Restoration notes

Restoration: trimmed the mount and scanner margins, balanced levels while keeping the paper tone and the flat colour blocks of the woodblock impression (85% of the original colour retained), removed dust and specks, applied gentle sharpening. Toning, wormholes, the printer's registration and the collector's seals are kept where they belong to the object; nothing is redrawn.

Every print carries its archive credit on the packing slip. Paper tone and small imperfections of the original are kept on purpose; nothing is redrawn.
