Shiraito Falls is a waterfall in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, near Mount Fuji. Shiraito Falls is part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and has been protected since 1936 as a Japanese Natural Treasure.

Tokuriki’s series was a huge success with foreign buyers upon its release.
This series is undoubtedly Tokuriki’s masterpiece and surpasses his other major series, “Scenes of Sacred Sites and Historic Monuments (Seichi Shiseki Meisho).” After World War II, he created another version in the sosaku-hanga style, which he called “Thirty-Six New Views of Mount Fuji”
