Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (?????? Fugaku Sanjurokkei?) is a series of landscape prints created by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai (1760-1849). The series depicts Mount Fuji from different locations and in various seasons and weather conditions. The original thirty-six prints were so popular that Hokusai expanded the series by ten.
