Fujimigahara (Fuji-View Fields) - Striking view of Mt. Fuji from across Fujimigahara, framed by the opening of an enormous wooden tub. A cooper labors inside the barrel, with tools and materials scattered along the ground nearby. Fields stretch across the plain to the dark green line of trees on the horizon, with the peak of the sacred mountain rising above. A handsome design, nicely colored and shaded.

Woodblock reprints - In the 20th century, artists and publishers collaborated to recreate famous woodblock prints for interested Japanese collectors and Westerners looking for rare designs. New blocks were made, and the prints were painstakingly printed by artisan printers in the same method as the 19th century originals - one block for each color. Woodblock reprints were an opportunity to collect and enjoy a famous design at a small fraction of the price of an original. They still are today.
