‘Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji’ - in Japanese Fuji Sanjū-Rokkei - is the title of two separate and distinct series of woodblock prints by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also often known as Andō Hiroshige, depicting Mount Fuji in differing seasons and times from a variety of different places and perspectives.
The 1852 series were made in landscape orientation and are obviously influenced by the earlier similarly titled series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by the master artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) which was published between 1826 and 1833. By contrast, the 1858 series - presented here in full colour - are set in portrait orientation.
