Old Man and Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai

                                                           Old Man and Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai
In 1834by Hokusai began a three-volume series of "One Hundred Views of Fuji", in which he depicted the sacred mountain from many very imaginative situations. Critics have interpreted the old man here either as yawning after an afternoon's work or laughing with delight at the sight of the snowy mountain. The old man looks like various Hokusai self-portraits: it would be pleasing to imagine that the man here is Hokusai himself, already seventy-five years old.
