Hokusai’s 36 Views of Mt. Fuji
The Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai was first published around 1831 when Hokusai was seventy-two.
This series led Hokusai’s name to be recorded in the history of art. European Impressionists, such as Vincent van Gogh, were greatly influenced by this series, and “The Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa” (pl. 21) inspired Debussy to compose the symphony La Mer.
