Description: After the great success of "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," Hiroshige's next large-scale series of landscape paintings was "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," picking up the theme so successfully treated by his senior Hokusai.


It was the last of Hiroshige's major works, and he passed away before it was (posthumously) published in 1876. Although some of his landscapes depict the same locations as Hokusai's series, the nicely balanced composition and color tones in the vertical format give the work a sense of season, poetry, and a calm impression.

This print depicts a famous sight in Izu, the Joren Waterfalls. According to old tales, it is believed that the spirit of a female spider lives in the basin, casting a spell on a lumberjack who encountered her. This print seems to be referring to that tale, as we can see a lumberjack walking up the hill on the right side of the print.

This particular print is a reproduction by Adachi company published in 1998.
