From the Art Institute of Chicago record

The cult of Mount Fuji (Fujikō), a belief system in which the mountain was a sacred site, was so prevalent in Edo (now Tokyo) in the 1800s that many mini-Fujis were created in the landscape for those unable to climb the actual mountain. This particular mini-mountain was called “New Fuji.” It became a popular destination for tourism as well as religious devotion, in part because of the great views of the real Mount Fuji, seen here in the distance.
