The Sumida Hokusai Museum in Tokyo is set to celebrate its 10th anniversary with a special exhibition titled “Hokusai and Hiroshige—Two Maestros, Two Visions of Mount Fuji,” running from June 23 to August 30, 2026. The exhibition aims to showcase the distinct artistic contributions of Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, focusing specifically on their differing portrayals of Mount Fuji.
The exhibition will highlight works from both artists' Mount Fuji series, including Hokusai's celebrated “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji,” which will be shown in full for the first time in four years. Hiroshige's “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji” series, along with a second series of the same name, will also be presented in their entirety.
Open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with last entry at 5:00 p.m., the museum welcomes visitors to explore the individual styles and vision of the two artists through a comparative lens. Organized by Sumida City and The Sumida Hokusai Museum, with special cooperation from the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, the exhibition invites attendees to delve into the creative processes that defined these ukiyo-e masters.
Admission prices vary, with tickets set at ¥1,000 for adults, and discounted rates for seniors, students, and visitors with disabilities. Children in primary school and younger can enter for free. The museum will be closed on Mondays, with exceptions on public holidays.
To accommodate visitors and ensure ease of access, online ticket options are available, eliminating the need to queue on the day of the visit. Tickets and additional exhibition details, including discounts and group visit arrangements, can be found on the museum's official website.
