Description: "36 Views of Mt. Fuji" is a collection of illustrations featuring Mt. Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai, published between 1831-34. Originally intended to be a set of 36, ten more were added to it due to its popularity, thus the total of 46 prints. The popularity of this series established landscape as a genre along with Yakusha-e (portraits of actors) and Bijin-ga (portraits of beautiful women).

The distinctive feature of these printings is the use of imported chemical dye, Prussian blue. In the additional 10 prints, black ink is used for the key block, while Prussian blue is used for the other 36 prints.

This reprinted edition was published by Adachi and they are chu-ban (medium size), smaller than the original version. The displayed dimension is each print size.
