Framing the Infinite — Mount Fuji Through Human Hands
Katsushika Hokusai’s “Fugaku Sanjūrokkei: Bishū Fujimigahara” captures Mount Fuji not as a distant monument, but as a presence woven into daily life.
Seen through the circular frame of a craftsman’s work, Fuji becomes both subject and symbol—eternal, immovable, yet quietly observed amid human labor.
This bold composition, where geometry meets nature, reflects Hokusai’s radical vision:
the sacred and the ordinary existing in the same moment.
A reminder that even the infinite can be glimpsed through the work of our hands.
