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.

In this print, we can see Mount Fuji rising at the background beneath a soft sunset light while the Miura peninsula presents a calm and blue sea. Some sailing boats float faraway behind the small cliff on the right side of the landscape. At the foreground there is more agitation, a boat navigates beneath some small but slightly raging waves that hit the rocky shore watering the pines on the top.

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

There are a few slight foxing spots on this print.
