A 20th century woodbock reprint of Tago Bay near Ejiri on the Tōkaidō (Tōkaidō Ejiri Tago no ura ryaku zu) by Hokusai. Originally printed between 1830 and 1832 from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei). Men struggle to steer their junks through the strong currents of Tago Bay while a fisherman casts his net into the turbulent sea. The curved shape of the mountain, echoing that of the junks, serves as a counterpoise to the foreground scene.
Approximate dimensions of the sheet are 29.5 cm width and 21 cm height.

Hokusai was born to an artisan family in Edo, Japan and his childhood name was Tokitarō. His father never made Hokusai an heir and it is possible that his mother was a concubine. Hokusai began painting around the age of six. At 12 he went to work in a bookshop and at 14 he also became an apprentice to a wood-carver. At 18 he was also accepted into the studio of Katsukawa Shunshō where he would learn to master the art of ukiyo-e.
