Pictures of Mount Fuji


Abstract

  • Presented here is a picture album published in 1846, based on sketches drawn by the Edo period painter Koizumi Danzan (also seen as Koizumi Ayaru, circa 1766−1854) after he reached the top of Mount Fuji in 1795. It consists of inscriptions and an introduction by several famous scholars and poets with a postscript by Koizumi; 21 pictures by Koizumi (however, in this copy, the seventh, eighth, and ninth pictures are also inserted as the first three pictures, so three are missing); the postscript and colophon; and a distant view of Mount Fuji and commentary by a pupil of Koizumi. Koizumi sought to depict Mount Fuji realistically, so his pictures differ from the distant views of the mountain often painted by many other artists. The album shows Mount Fuji’s crater viewed from the top and scenes that vary depending on the viewer’s standpoint, such as the shape of Mount Fuji, the protuberances on its summit, and the places where snow remains. Although they are realistic pictures, frames 14−15, which show a morning scene halfway up Mount Fuji, are also a beautiful representation of the complex movement of a sea of clouds in the morning sun. The book consists of a long piece of paper folded into a bellows shape with a front cover attached. It can be viewed when fully opened, but it has been photographed in units of double-page spreads for the digital image. Frames 14−15 and 23−24 thus represent two parts of one picture. The composition intended by the artist can best be understood by downloading and rearranging the images.(en)

    本書は、江戸時代の画家小泉檀山(こいずみ,だんざん1766-1854)が1795年に富士山に登頂した際の写生図をもとに、1846年に刊行された画帖である。内容は、①数名の有名な学者や詩人の題字や序、小泉本人の附言、②小泉による21種類の絵画(ただし、所掲本は1~3図目の替りに7~9図目が重複しており3図足りない)、③跋文と奥付、④小泉の弟子による富士山の遠望図と解説から成る。  小泉は、富士山の実況を写実的に描こうとしたので、多くの画家がしばしば描く富士山遠景図は重視しない。写山頂から火口を見た図や、見る場所によって変わる富士山の形、頂上の突起の数、残雪の場所の数など記録する。写実的な画集だが、富士山の中腹の朝の図である14-15コマ目は、朝焼けの中、雲海が複雑に動く様が描かれ、見事である。  本書は長い紙をジャバラ状に折り、表紙を付けた形式で作られているので、長く開いて見る事も可能だが、デジタル画像では見開き単位で撮影した。14-15コマ目と23-24コマ目は、見開き2つ分ずつ続く絵で、画家の構図はダウンロードして並べれば分かる。
