A steep green mound with a zigzag path climbs out of the countryside, small figures at its summit, and in the far distance the real Mount Fuji rises white above blue hills. Cherry trees in pale bloom and a winding blue stream fill the foreground, with visitors gathered beneath them. The print is number twenty-four in One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, published by Uoya Eikichi, with a censor's seal of the fourth month of 1857. The mound is a man-made miniature Fuji, built so that worshippers of the mountain could make a symbolic climb close to the city. Hiroshige sets the copy and the original in the same view; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Spring green, blossom white and a distant white Fuji, for a living room, study or hallway at 16×24 in natural wood. It pairs with The Original Fuji in Meguro, its companion view.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
