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 Suruga Bay, which has long been known as one of the best places to view Mt. Fuji. The high waves are depicted impressively and may be indicating a period of high waves after the mid-summer.

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

There are a few spots at the right end left margins of this print.
