The ''One Hundred Views of Fuji'', or ''Fugaku hyakkei'', is a three-volume set of illustrated books designed by [[Katsushika Hokusai]] and published by [[Eirakuya Toshiro|Eirakuya Tôshirô]] in [[1834]] to [[1849]]. It has been described as representing an example of the highest quality of block-cutting and [[printing and Publishing|printing]] in the [[Edo period]].
The first two volumes were published in 1834 and [[1835]] respectively. However, due to the [[Tenpo Famine|Tenpô Famine]], the third volume was delayed until [[1849]], when it was published as part of a unified edition (of all three volumes in one).
Following Hokusai's death, Eirakuya published a new unified edition in [[1860]] with recut grey blocks and added pink colors. In [[1875]], he issued a new unified edition again, this time reverting back to the original colors and sedate tones. The reasons for this return to the original appearance are unknown, but were presumably in response to market demand.
The volumes themselves include numerous images of [[Mt. Fuji]] as seen from various vantage points and famous sites, in various seasons. However, they also include images of [[kami|deities]] associated with the mountain, historical figures such as [[En no Gyoja|En no Gyôja]] (believed to be the first to climb to the peak), images of people ascending and descending the mountain in groups, and images of the chaos and destruction wreaked by Mt. Fuji's [[1707]] eruption.
