Hokusai04 Honganji at Asakusa, Tokyo (東都浅草本願寺) / Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景) by Katsushika Hokusai

There is a town in Edo behind a large roof of "Honganji(本願寺)", and Mt. Fuji soars in a distance greatly.

The height of the aspect is put on the same with the tile workmen on the roof.

The haze is broken through, the tower and the kite expand in the sky, and the height of the sky is expressed well by deep indigo blue.

The "Honganji(本願寺)" was built as "Kozuiji(光瑞寺) in 1591.

It moved to Asakusa after the big fire of Meireki(明暦) that occurred in 1657, and it came to be called, "Honganji" afterwards.

Hokusai03 Sundai, Edo (東都駿台) / Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景) by Katsushika Hokusai

It is scenery of the Kanda Surugadai known as a town in the prepschool now.

It seems that this vicinity lines with old samurai residences, and Mt. Fuji seen from the height was beautiful at that time.

Green of trees and blue of the sky favor white in Fuji further.

Maybe, I think around here it now.

It is a topic that relates to the Mitsukoshi Department Store about which I talked the other day.

"MITSUKOSHI Art Gallery" application program is a universal application program to be able to appreciate the art work of the craft work, the Japanese style painting, and the western-style painting by the important, intangible cultural asset holder (living national treasure) on iPhone/iPod touch and iPad.

The art and the craft work of about 50 points by the important, intangible cultural asset holder can be appreciated among works that have been exhibited in "The 57th Japanese traditional craft exhibition" done in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi in September, 2010.

When the work is done in the tap, the work name, the work introduction, and the name of the author are displayed.

Everyone seems to be able to use it free of charge.
Interested one in the art and the craft work of Japan may use this.
