Description: In the immediate post-war period, the publisher Takamizawa issued a number of prints based on designs by Hokusai, with an interesting twist - they colorised them.

Hokusai's famous "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku Hyakkei) series was originally issued as a set of three illustrated books, with the entire project being done in muted tones of black and grey.

The print you see here - originally a left-right spread in the book - has been re-created as a single sheet, with colours added by the post-war craftsmen.
