Description
36 views of the Fuji volcano from different perspectives. It was not published as an album. The summaries were made privately by enthusiasts. A total of 45 sheets were published, of which Ginsberg's collection contains 36 sheets. As this number corresponded to the usual designation, he believed that he had completed the work when he acquired it in Japan.

[...] - at least at the end of 1929 Ostasiatica collection Herbert Ginsberg, Berlin; after 1945 no longer in the possession of Herbert Ginsberg; circumstances of loss unknown - a loss as a result of Nazi persecution cannot be ruled out. Whereabouts unknown
