Spanning three centuries, this quartet of views of Mount Fuji suggests the fascination that this remarkable peak has exercised over the people of Japan. As familiar to the denizens of Tokyo and Yokohama as to sailors along the coast, Fuji is a volcano that last erupted in 1707, a tremendously violent event that took place just forty years after Jokei created Journey to the East. Despite its explosive potential, the mountain is always depicted as serene and august, an imperial rather than a tyrannical presence. Viewing the follies of human beings from afar, the snow-clad slopes only shine all the whiter.
