Takahashi presents us with multiple views of Mount Fuji in this print. As Hagiwara did in his Thirty-Six Fujis, on view nearby, Takahashi pays his respect to earlier ukiyo-e artist depictions of the mountain, by including in this print his version of Hokusai’s Fine Wind, Clear Weather, commonly referred to as “Red Fuji.”
