Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji (Japan: 富士 三 十六 景; Fuji Sanju-Rokkei) is the title of two series of woodcuts (ukiyo-e) by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, which represents Mt. Fuji in different weather and season conditions, and from a variety of different places and distances. The 1852 series is horizontal, the 1858 series has a vertical orientation. The same theme had been treated by Hokusai in two of his own series, Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji and One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji.
