冨嶽三十六景　山下白雨|Storm below Mount Fuji (Sanka no haku u), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai

ca. 1830–32 · Woodblock print; ink and color on paper · Asian Art

Mount Fuji projects majestically above the clouds. A lightning bolt shown against the shape of Fuji opens up a dialogue of oppositions: the enduring, static Mount Fuji is pitted against the transitory and fleeting nature of lightning. The solemn, towering mountain remains undisturbed by dangerous thunderstorms.
