Hokusai
also: Hokusai
Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), the Japanese printmaker whose 'Thirty-six' and later 'Hundred Views of Mount Fuji' lie behind Rilke's 'thirty-six times and a hundred times'; the mountain, given only in outline, never halts its splendor.
Reading notes
- New Poems: The Other Part §94 the painter
Hokusai, whose 'Thirty-six Views' and 'Hundred Views of Mount Fuji' underlie the refrain 'thirty-six times and a hundred times'; the volcano, given only as outline, rises new behind every cleft.
