Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. On this card and its stamp, the active volcano is represented on a ukiyo-e, a particular form of Japanese art popular between the 17th and the 20th century. It is the print "Red Fuji" from Hokusai's series, "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji". JP Post has issued these stamps in 2011 as part of a minisheet of 10 different ukiyo-e prints by Katsushika Hokusai.
