This is the cover of the third volume of Katsushika Hokusai's *Honderd gezichten op de berg Fuji*, a series of woodblock prints depicting the iconic mountain in various styles and perspectives. The yellow cover, decorated with simple calligraphic text, hints at the elegant simplicity of the artist's work. Although the precise date of this volume remains uncertain, it is believed to be around 1875, shortly after the artist's death in 1849. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands.
