When renowned Japanese artist and printmaker Hokusai (1760-1849) was in his seventies he produced what is his crowning achievement — a series of wood-block landscape prints known as Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, depicting the famous Japanese mountain from different vantage points and in various weather. The series started out with what is arguably the most well-known Japanese print of the era, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
Hokusai influenced the Impressionist painters — Manet and Monet each amassed a collection of the Japanese artist's prints — and the later Art Nouveau movement. In that spirit we present 36 Views Of The Eiffel Tower in three sections. All of the photos in this series are by Mark Craft.

Katsushika Hokusai, a master of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, created The 36 Views of Mount Fuji in the early 1830s, a series that would become one of Japan's most iconic contributions to art. Each print looks at Mount Fuji from a unique perspective and at different times of day, blending natural beauty with everyday life. Hokusai's bold use of color and perspective transformed how landscapes were depicted, not only in Japan but worldwide. His work influenced countless others, inspiring a fascination with viewing a single landscape through varying weather conditions, lighting, and seasons, a clear influenced on artists like Claude Monet.
