"Over a period of more than seventy years, Hokusai created several thousand highly original prints, paintings, sketches and book illustrations.

Equally popular were his pictures of  Mount Fuji, especially the series'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' (Fugaku sanjurokkei) published from c.1829-33, and the book 'One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji' (Fugaku hyakkei) published from 1834-35."
