Hiroshige produced an estimated 8,000 designs over his 40-year career, making him one of the most prolific masters of ukiyo-e. His market has strengthened significantly in recent years, with the 2025 Sotheby's Paris record of $2.4M and growing international collector interest.
Tateyama, the sacred volcanic mountain in Etchu Province (modern Toyama), was one of the three great mountains of Japan — alongside Fuji and Hakusan — and an important pilgrimage destination. This print from the "One Hundred Famous Views of the Provinces" depicts the mountain's dramatic peak emerging from cloud, the austere alpine landscape conveying the spiritual weight the mountain carried in Buddhist and Shinto tradition.
