冨嶽三十六景Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji46 prints
ふがくさんじゅうろっけい
Hokusai's landmark series from the early 1830s: despite the name, it grew to 46 prints — 36 original designs plus 10 added after the series became a hit. Every print finds Mount Fuji from a different angle of everyday life, from fishing boats to rooftops, many colored with the then-new imported pigment Prussian blue. The Great Wave and Red Fuji are both from this series.
諸国瀧廻りA Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces8 prints
しょこくたきめぐり
A tour of eight famous waterfalls across Japan, published around 1833. Hokusai drew each fall's water differently — curtains, claws, ropes of foam — turning moving water itself into the subject. All eight designs of the series are here.
百物語One Hundred Ghost Stories5 prints
ひゃくものがたり
Named after the parlor game of telling one hundred ghost stories by candlelight, this series from the early 1830s stopped after just five prints — all five are here. Hokusai's ghosts, like the wronged wife Oiwa appearing in a paper lantern, remain some of the most famous yōkai images in Japanese art.
花鳥画Bird-and-flower pictures2 prints
かちょうが
Alongside landscapes, Hokusai designed refined prints of flowers and birds. These close-up studies show the same design instinct as the Fuji series, applied to poppies bending in wind or cranes in snow.
Every image is an original ukiyo-e work from an open museum collection — no reproductions or AI images. Each answer names the collection and links to the museum's own page. Old character forms appear in the prints (冨 for 富, 國 for 国); the explanations point them out as you go.
FAQ
Why does the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji have 46 prints?
The series sold so well when it appeared in the early 1830s that the publisher extended it: 36 original designs, then 10 more, keeping the famous title. This page shows all 46, in original museum impressions — including the Great Wave and Red Fuji.
Are these images the real prints?
Yes — every image is an original woodblock impression from an open museum collection, mainly the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. Each print names its collection and links to the museum's own object page.
What else did Hokusai make besides the Great Wave?
Alongside the Fuji series this page collects his Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces — eight falls, each drawn with a different kind of water — his five surviving ghost prints from One Hundred Ghost Stories, and bird-and-flower prints. He designed thousands more images across a seventy-year career.
