Mount Fuji is seen from the Senju Pleasure Quarter's flower district (Hana-machi), the Yoshiwara's satellite entertainment zone north of Edo, in this print from the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. The composition situates the sacred mountain as a backdrop to the commercial pleasures of the licensed quarter, a juxtaposition that Hokusai uses without irony — Fuji belongs equally to every neighborhood and every kind of human activity.
