At Sea off Kazusa (Kazusa no kairo), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjurokkei). Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1760-1849 Tokyo (Edo)). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 9 7/8 in. (25.1 cm); W. 15 1/16 in. (38.3 cm). Date: ca. 1830-32.The mast and sails of the large junk in the foreground create an interesting play of triangular forms that reflect and frame the form of Fuji in the distance. The deep blue hue of the water in the foreground of the print finds a visual counterpoint in the inky blue band that reaches across the horizon and sky. This repetition of color serves to flatten out the scene, bridging the distance between near and far. A shoreline and tiny sailboats range along the horizon, which is subtly curved.

Yahya ibn Mahmod al-Wasiti was a 13th-century Arab Islamic artist. Al-Wasiti was born in Wasit in southern Iraq. He was noted for his illustrations of the Maqam of al-Hariri. Maqama (literally 'assemblies') are an (originally) Arabic literary genre of rhymed prose with intervals of poetry in which rhetorical extravagance is conspicuous. The 10th century author Badi' al-Zaman al-Hamadhani is said to have invented the form, which was extended by al-Hariri of Basra in the next century. Both authors' maqamat center on trickster figures whose wanderings and exploits in speaking to assemblies of the powerful are conveyed by a narrator. Manuscripts of al-Hariri's Maqamat, anecdotes of a roguish wanderer Abu Zayd from Saruj, were frequently illustrated with miniatures.
