A wonderfully illustrated exploration of one of Hokusais key motifs: Mount Fuji. Hokusais Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and the three volumes of his subsequent One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji show his fascination with a single motif: Mount Fuji. Hokusais near-obsession with Fuji was part of his hankering after artistic immortality - in Buddhist and Daoist tradition, Fuji was thought to hold the secret to eternal life, as one popular interpretation of its name suggests: Fu-shi (not death).
