One of the most famous collections of woodblock prints is the “36 Views of Mount Fuji” series by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Japanese ukiyo-e feature the almost sacred mountain heavily.

This collection includes the renowned “In the Hollow of a Wave off the Coast at Kanagawa” - popularly known in the West as simply “The Great Wave”. In this print Mt Fuji is dwarfed by a giant tsunami in the foreground, its whitecaps about to crash down upon the terrified fishermen in their boat below.

These ukiyo-e prints have become very popular lately, and can be found adorning all sorts of things - I have even seen this particular print available as an iPod cover!
