The fan is the picture's whole subject: in the Chinese canon of the Eight Views, this is \u003cem\u003eClearing Weather at a Mountain Village\u003c\/em\u003e, and Harunobu has moved the clearing sky into a fan held in a Japanese house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series turns the old landscape cycle into eight objects in a living room — a parody, a \u003cem\u003emitate\u003c\/em\u003e, which only works if you know the landscape it replaces. These are also among the first full-colour woodblock prints ever made: Harunobu forced the \u003cem\u003enishiki-e\u003c\/em\u003e technique through in 1765, and this sheet is from that year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat this is.\u003c\/strong\u003e A giclée reproduction printed with pigment inks.
