Title: Mount Fuji, Enoshima, Sagami Province, 1830s
Caption: Enoshima in Sagami Province is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. The seventeenth print in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Shows travelers crossing a narrow strip of land to reach Enoshima, a small island in Sagami Bay, with view of buildings along the shoreline. Mount Fuji is a frequent subject of Japanese art especially after 1600, when Edo (Tokyo) became the capital and people saw the mountain while traveling on the Tokaido road. The mountain is mentioned in Japanese literature throughout the ages and is the subject of many poems. Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano located near the Pacific coast of Honshu and one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains". The ukiyo-e genre of art flourished in Japan from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such subjects as female beauties; kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and erotica.
