One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji (Fujimi hyakuzu 富士見百図)

Andō, Hiroshige, 1797-1858 · 1859 · Nagoya : Eirakuya Tōshirō 永楽屋東四郎 · 9 pictures

This Japanese woodblock album, One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, was made by Andō Hiroshige in 1859 and published in Nagoya by Eirakuya Tōshirō for a mass market of collectors and travellers. Its paired pages show Fuji in the distance across lakes, bays, and fields, framed by pines, cliffs, and ridges; the pale washes, layered blue water, and small framing foreground shapes offer a designer a clear model for calm landscape compositions with a single distant peak.
