Hokusai "Fuji from Gotenyama at Shinagawa on the Tokaido" -Thirty-six Views of Mt.Fuji-This print is one of Hokusais successful series, Thirty six views of Mt. Fuji. It depicts a merry scene of cherry blossom viewing at Goten yama, the hill north of Shinagawa in Edo (current Tokyo). The hill was named Goten yama (Palace Mountain) because it was the site of the Shoguns villa. With its fantastic ocean view, Goten yama was a very popular picnic spot for people. Hokusai represents this famous hill with its cherry trees in full blossom.
