Edo period (1600-1868) woodblock prints of famous places, called meisho-e, often contained seasonal indicators including an array of flowers and trees associated with particular times of year. This example from Hiroshige's iconic 36 Views of Mount Fuji shows the majestic peak from Mount Kanō with Edo Bay between them. Fuji is placed at the center distance while a towering pine tree dominates the scene above a torii gate, blossoming cherry trees, and people ascending a winding mountain path.
