This oban-format nishiki-e from Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji (c. 1830–1832) depicts the lumber district of Honjo on the east bank of the Sumida River, where timber transported by river was stored and processed in large open yards. The composition organizes the visual field around the tension between an industrial foreground—stacked log sections, roofed storage structures, and canal infrastructure—and Mount Fuji rising in the far distance beyond the urban fabric. Workers handling timber are visible at human scale, dwarfed by the stacked material. The Tatekawa canal water is printed in Prussian blue. The deliberate framing of Fuji through an active working landscape exemplifies Hokusai's strategy throughout the Fugaku sanjurokkei series: situating the sacred mountain within the commercial and industrial life of Edo and its surroundings, asserting the mountain's presence as a constant over the varied foreground activities of an entire productive civilization.
