Hokusai's landscape prints beyond the Thirty-six Views span a remarkable range of viewpoints and weather conditions. Non-series landscape prints by Hokusai regularly appear in specialist Japanese print sales worldwide.
Mount Fuji rises above the rooftops and wisteria-decked kite frames of Surugadai, one of Edo's prosperous upland neighborhoods, in a view that emphasizes the mountain's unexpected visibility from within the dense fabric of the city. Koinobori carp banners hang in the air for the Boys' Festival — dating the scene to early summer — their streamlined forms rhyming with the distant mountain silhouette.
