Description
A snow-capped Mount Fuji rises above a range of dark purple hills, its peak catching pale light against a grey-mauve sky. In the foreground, pale blue-green waves break in white foam along a sandy shore, with three small dark-sailed boats visible on the water between the mountains and the surf. The palette is cool and muted throughout, dominated by mauve, indigo, and soft turquoise; Japanese characters and the artist's signature appear in the lower corners. Hiroshi Yoshida, *Fujiyama from Miho*, 1935, color woodblock print.
