Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji: The Great Wave off Kanagawa 冨嶽三十六景　神奈川沖浪裏ふがくさんじゅうろっけい　かながわおきなみうら

Description

眼前で激しく逆巻く大波と波間の遥か遠くに鎮座する富士山。動と静、遠と近を対比させる絶妙な構図は、海外でも「グレート・ウェーヴ」と称され、画家ゴッホや作曲家ドビュッシーをはじめ世界的に賞讃を受けた。波に翻弄される3艘の船は「押送り舟」と呼ばれる舟で、伊豆や安房の方から江戸湾に入り、日本橋などの市場に鮮魚や野菜を運搬していた。千葉県木更津方面から江戸湾を臨んで描いたとの説もある。
