- Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji
A cooper works inside an enormous round barrel he is building, his body framed by its staves, and through the open circle a tiny Mount Fuji appears far away above flat fields. His tools and a coil of hoop bamboo lie on the ground beside him. The print belongs to Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō). Fujimigahara, the Fuji-viewing plain, was in Owari province, so far from the mountain that it shows as only a speck. The play of the great circle against the small triangle is one of the best-known compositions in the series; 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
Warm cream and soft blue with a bold circular barrel, for a study, workshop or home office at 24×16 in natural wood. It pairs with Fuji from the Katakura Tea Fields in Suruga for two scenes of people at work.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×16. Prints at 18×12, 24×16 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard.
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).
