Hanging Cloud Bridge at Mt. Gyodo, Ashikaga - The soaring peaks and rocks of Gyodosan (meaning mountain of ascetics), a wonderful view of the cloud bridge connecting the tops of the steep cliffs and the structures at the top of those peaks. Great Hokusai image, very rare to find in a reprint.

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.
