Notes: This print was made after an etching from the series 100 Views of Mount Fuji By Hokusai, near the end of his career. At the time, he was teaching a lot and was working under the name "Gakyô Rôjin Manji" (The Old Man Mad About Art). This is an extremely rare print, especially in this condition.
