What mountain did hokusai use in his paintings?

What mountain did hokusai use in his paintings?
Hokusai used Mount Fuji as a backdrop in most of his artwork.

Katsushika Hokusai (1760 - 1849) was a Japanese artist, painter and printmaker of the Edo period. Beginning in 1826, he created a set of woodblock prints called Fugaku Sanjroku-kei (Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji) and later added a series of ten more prints, the last in 1833. He also did the larger landscape collection "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji".
