Описание: Utagawa Hiroshiges two Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, 1852 and 1858, are both a copy act and in themselves innovative artistic endeavors.
Katsushika Hokusai published his famous series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji in 1830-1832 and it influenced Hiroshige tremendously to do his own series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series 1852, and 1858 which we deal with here.
Hiroshige shifted to the vertical portrait format with novel and interesting results. It is in the same vertical format for landscapes that Hiroshige used in his innovative series Hundred Famous Views of Edo created with Eisen in 1835 - 1842
It is possible to travel to see the same sites today and enjoy the views of Mt Fuji, which are still very important to the Japanese.
