...and his museum, here's his second most famous work, "Gaifu Kaisei" (凱風快晴) or "South Wind, Clear Weather" or "Fine Wind, Clear Morning" but best known known as "Aka Fuji" (赤富士) i.e. "Red Fuji". It is from the series of 36 paintings titled "Fugaku Sanjorokkei" (富嶽三十六景) i.e. "36 Views of Mt. Fuji" he made between 1830 and 1832 and this is one of the originals --these works were woodblock prints so there are several originals.
