About the Artwork

Utagawa Hiroshige, The Satta Coast in Suruga Province (Suruga Satta kaijo), from the series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji sanjurokkei), 1858
Color woodcut, 13 3/8 x 8 3/4 in. (34 x 22.3 cm). Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Gift of Miss Carlotta Mabury, 1964.141.652

In 1655 the Satta Pass was constructed to help pilgrims and travelers of the Tokaido navigate the treacherous coastline, shown here on the left. The crashing waves are a direct reference to href="/search/artist/katsushika+hokusai" target="blank">Hokusai's composition in his book One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, particularly when paired with the small flock of plovers that fly out of the wave, almost as if they too were droplets of water separating out from the central body of the wave.
