Katsushika Hokusai
ca. 1830–32 · Woodblock print; ink and color on paper · Asian Art
Expressing their exuberance and triumph at having reached the site of the ancient cryptomeria tree, three travelers embrace its enormous trunk. The contrast of the small human figures with the enormous natural forms reveals Hokusai's empathy with the pilgrims.
