Mount Fuji has long been a centerpiece of Japanese cultural imagination, and nothing captures this with more virtuosity than the landmark woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai (1760¿1849). The renowned printmaker documents 19th-century Japan with exceptional artistry and adoration, celebrating its countryside, cities, people, and serene natural beauty. Produced at the peak of Hokusai¿s artistic ambition, the series is a quintessential work of ukiyo-e that earned the artist world-wide recognition as a leading master of his craft.The prints illustrate Hokusai¿s own obsession with Mount Fuji as well as the flourishing domestic tourism of the late Edo period.

Hokusai captures the distinctive landscape and provincial charm of each setting with a vivid palette
