Description:

Gakutei trained under Totoya Hokkei (1780-1850), one of Katsushika Hokusai's best students. However, he may also have studied directly with Hokusai. Gakutei was a kyöka poet as well as an author of gesaku (Edo-period literary works of a playful, or frivolous nature). He moved to Osaka from Edo (Tokyo) some time in the early 1830s, during the Tenpö period (1830-44), and created his series “Fine Views of Mt. Tenpö ” in 1834. Japanese artistic devices such as the use of flat colors, theatrical horizontal clouds around the bottom of the composition, and cropped motifs (the boat), are well fused with Western perspective, which is typical of the eclectic landscape style of the Hokusai School.
