The aizuri technique, a printing process in which Prussian blue dominates a print's color scheme, gained great popularity in the first third of the nineteenth century and was used by Hokusai to fashion this print. Bathing the print in a veil of blue tones, this process helps to create a cohesive, unified composition.
