Tatekawa in Honjō (Honjō Tatekawa), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai Japanese

Not on view

Honjō was a district for lumberyards. Mount Fuji peeks through the planks stacked up in such a yard next to the Tate canal. The figures in the print are completely absorbed in their work, unaffected by the handsome vista of Fuji. At the lower right, some planks of wood stand within a frame bearing various markings and inscriptions: "the storehouse of Nishimura" (the publisher of this series of prints), the publisher's address, "the stock of Eijudō," and "the stock for the new edition of the Thirty-six views of Fuji."
