Join Jennifer Scott, Director of The Dulwich Picture Gallery, the world's oldest purpose-built public art museum, for an introduction to the collection and a virtual tour of Hokusai: Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji. This landmark exhibition marks the first time the complete set of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai has been shown in the UK. These works demonstrate Hokusai’s innovative approach to composition, perspective, and colour, including his pioneering use of the newly introduced Prussian blue pigment, a development so popular that it led the publisher to expand the original series with ten additional prints. Highlights include a rare variant of Clear Day with a Southern Breeze (also known as Red Fuji), alongside a beautifully preserved impression of Under the Wave off Kanagawa, commonly known as The Great Wave. Together, these prints reveal Hokusai at the height of his creative power, combining technical mastery with poetic imagination.

The exhibition is made possible through the courtesy of the Iuchi Collection, in partnership with The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, with additional support provided by the IFPDA Foundation.
