Description: One of the most famous prints from Hokusai’s celebrated Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, published c. 1830–1832.

What makes this print exquisite is its bold composition, placing a large piece of wood in the center. It captures a day of labor, where two men are cutting this chunk of wood, a man on the left side is investigating his saw, a boy in the center is checking the fire. Meanwhile, a woman appears to have just arrived to bring lunch for the workers.

Although the publisher's information is not stated on this post-war reproduction, it is likely Nihon Hanga Kenkyusho.

The top left corner is chipped.
