Description
A layered range of deep blue-violet mountain peaks recedes into pale mist under a pastel sky streaked with peach and salmon clouds against soft green-blue. In the lower right, a small walking stick or alpenstock leans upright on the nearest dark slope, its metal tip and a red tag visible, the only sign of a human presence in the otherwise empty, still landscape. "Eboshidake," a color woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida, 1926.
