:BTW - The seal you have posted is that of Takamizawa Mokuhansha, a Tokyo publisher. It was used on their pre-war reproductions and stamped on verso.
Nice reproduction of 'Fuji above the lightning' from Hokusai's '36 Views of Fuji' first published c.1832. It is well illustrated in many standard books about Hokusai. I used Richard Lane's 'Hokusai - Life and Work' to compare. There are many block differences, most noticeably the pattern of clouds in the sky. Yours is a later reprint from recut blocks and of decorative value.
