Sazai hall - Temple of Five Hundred Rakan. The Sazaidō (literally, Turban-shell Tower, owing to its spiral staircase) is a three-story tower that was built in 1741 as a temple dedicated to the five hundred Rakan, or arhats, legendary disciples of Buddha. Men and women admire the view of Mount Fuji across the marshes from the temple's balcony. Mount Fuji serves here almost as a vanishing point, with the figures spread fan-like below. Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. He is best-known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (c. 1831) which includes the iconic and internationally recognized print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created during the 1820s.
