Dulwich Picture Gallery in London is showing all of Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, including ten later additions. Hokusai made the prints in his seventies in the early 1830s as affordable woodblock prints for ordinary people in Edo, today's Tokyo. Seen as a series, The Great Wave becomes one view among many, with the tiny Mount Fuji beneath its crest. Other prints show travellers, farmers and pilgrims, with the mountain appearing in changing settings. The critic argues that the sequence builds a sense of journey rather than a single icon. The exhibition is the first time the complete series has been shown together in the UK.

Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India, with more than 1,600 surviving remains spread over 4,100 hectares. It was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire from 1336 to 1565. Travellers from Persia and Portugal described it as a prosperous, wealthy and grand city with temples, markets and farms along the Tungabhadra River. By 1500 it was estimated to be the world's second-largest city after Beijing, and probably India's richest at the time. In 1565 a coalition of Muslim sultanates defeated the Vijayanagara Empire, its capital was conquered and destroyed, and the city was left in ruins. Hampi remains a religious centre, with the active Virupaksha Temple at its heart.
