Hokusai, therefore, came up with the Ukiyo series that had the Thirty-Six View of Mount Fuji (Fugaku) prints and the Mount Fuji from the Mountains of Totomi artwork is one of them. In fact, much, later on, there was an addition of ten more to make it forty-six after he had quit drawing. The series depicts Mount Fuji from different locations, weathers and various seasons. The series was produced between c. 1830 to 1835. There are other subsequent works such as the Hiroshige’s series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and another book called one Hundred Views of Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji from the Mountains of Totomi was produced in c.1831 with an intention of trying to depict Mount Fuji from the Totomi Mountains just as the name suggests. The medium used for the print was woodblock; color on paper during the historical Edo Period.

Hokusai created the "Thirty-Six Views" both as a response to a domestic travel boom and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji. It was this series, specifically The Great Wave print and Fine Wind, Clear Morning, that secured Hokusai’s fame both in Japan and overseas. As historian Richard Lane concludes, "Indeed, if there is one work that made Hokusai's name, both in Japan and abroad, it must be this monumental print-series". While Hokusai's work prior to this series is certainly important, it was not until this series that he gained broad recognition.
