Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Hiroshige)

Series of 19th-century woodblock prints by Hiroshige


Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Japanese: 富士三十六景, Hepburn: Fuji Sanjū-Rokkei) is the title of two series of woodblock prints by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige, depicting Mount Fuji in differing seasons and weather conditions from a variety of different places and distances. The 1852 series, published by Sanoya Kihei, are in landscape orientation using the chūban format, while the 1858 series are in the portrait ōban format and were published by Tsutaya Kichizō.[1][2] The same subject had previously been dealt with by Hokusai in two of his own series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, produced from c.1830 to 1832,[3] and One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, published in three volumes from 1834 to 1849.[4]
