Kasushika Hokusai was one of the foremost ukiyo-e artists of his generation and his Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji one the best know series in all of Japanese woodblock printing. Mt. Fuji had and continues to have a mythical hold on the Japanese imagination, and Hokusai depicts the endless depth and variety the mountain conveys through its situation in landscape, season and time of day.
