All 46 Master Prints + 4 Historical Companion Works
Despite the historical title, Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji doesn't stop at 36.
When Katsushika Hokusai released the series in the 1830s, it was such an immediate commercial hit that his publisher expanded the run. For art historians and collectors, the complete series actually spans 46 master prints.
This set archives all 46 original views alongside 4 historical companion prints from the era, bringing the total in the box to a complete 50-card set.
Sourced from World-Class Archives
Every print in this collection is sourced directly from private archives and top museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The British Museum. This set preserves the subtle paper texture, pigment gradients, and linework of the original 19th-century woodblocks.
Why Cards Instead of a Book?
This collection was originally written as a book. But for practical reasons of making side-by-side comparisons possible, we've produced them as cards as a bound spine locks the art in place.
By unbinding the 46 prints, the experience becomes active and tactile. It gives you the freedom to interact with the art differently:
- Analysis on the back: The back of each card breaks down the uniqueness of the print, its history, and key details you might miss at first glance.
- Side-by-Side Layouts: Lay cards next to each other on your desk to see how Hokusai varied his style across the series, or pair them with works by artists Hokusai inspired, like Monet and Van Gogh.
- Flexible Uses: Use them as study flashcards for composition, pin them up as visual references next to your desk, or frame individual prints on your wall.
What’s Included in the Set
A complete 50-card set containing
- All 46 Master Prints: The complete Thirty-Six Views series (the original 36 plus the 10 expanded "Ura-Fuji" prints).

About The Artist - Katsushika Hokusai
葛飾北斎 Katsushika Hokusai
JAPANESE PAINTER AND PRINTMAKER
31 October 1760 - 10 May 1849
Katsushika Hokusai was born in Tokyo and started learning art when he was only six years old.
A Man of Many Names
During his long career, Hokusai used about 30 different names. While Japanese artists at that time often changed their names to mark new stages in their lives, Hokusai did this much more than anyone else.
The “Floating World”
Hokusai was part of an art movement called ukiyo-e, which means “pictures of the floating world.” This style focused on everyday life, fashion, and popular culture between the 1600s and 1800s. He created both paintings and woodblock prints. At first, he drew famous actors from Kabuki theater. Later, he focused on nature, landscapes, and simple moments from daily life. He continued to draw these until he died in 1849.
His Masterpiece - Mount Fuji
In 1831, Hokusai finished his most famous project, a series of prints called “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.” Today, you can see this series of original prints in famous museums around the globe.

Kajikazawa in Kai Province
