Shichiri Beach in Sagami Province
相州七里浜(冨嶽三十六景)
- Distant View
- Water
- Mountain
From Sagami’s Shichiri Beach, Hokusai builds depth in three registers: shore, island, mountain. Each form type occupies its own atmospheric band.
Distant viewpoint plus water and mountain forms — map foreground surf to mid-ground Enoshima to Fuji.
Study bokashi bands that separate layers without hard outlines.
Compare horizontal calm here with the vertical stress of the Great Wave.
