Katsushika, Hokusai, 1760-1849 · 1847 · Edo: Izumiya Ichibei,和泉屋市兵衛; Bishū (Nagoya): Eirakuya Tōshirō,永楽屋東四郎 · 24 pictures

A third volume of Hokusai's Fugaku Hyakkei, a woodblock-printed landscape book made in 1847 in Edo and Nagoya by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai for a popular print-buying public. Its double-page spreads show Mount Fuji seen across village roofs, pine-covered hills, and everyday scenes of travellers and workers, giving a designer clear examples of how a distant mountain can anchor a composition.
