This artwork is titled "In the Mountains of Tōtōmi Province" (Tōtōmi sanchū) and is from the famous series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji".
It was created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai during the Edo period, roughly between 1830 and 1832.
The scene depicts laborers sawing a massive log using a large frame saw, with Mount Fuji visible in the background.
Original prints were made using woodblock printing techniques with ink and color on paper.
