Hokusai "Kirifuri Waterfall at Mt.Kurokami in Shimotsuke Province" -Tour of Waterfalls in Various Province- landscape making use of thick pillarsThis print is one of Hokusai's successful series, Tour of Waterfalls in Various Province. In this waterfall series, Hokusai pursued the expression of water uniquely in 8 designs. The depiction of Kirifuri waterfalls is very dynamic, but on the other hand, he depicted the travelers astonished by the waterfalls very delicately.
