Shiraito Falls is a waterfall in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, near Mount Fuji. Shiraito Falls is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and has been protected as a Japanese Natural Treasure since 1936.

Tokuriki's series was an immense success with foreign buyers upon its release.
This series is undoubtedly Tokuriki's masterpiece and surpasses his other major series, "Scenes of Sacred Places and Historical Monuments (Seichi Shiseki Meisho)." After World War II, he produced another version, in a sosaku-hanga style, which he called "Thirty-six new views of Mount Fuji".
