Description
Mount Fuji rises snow-capped against a pink-and-blue gradated sky, its slopes tinted rose at the summit, with a tree-covered rocky bluff at the left edge framing the view. In the middle distance a purple-blue mountain ridge stretches across the composition, with a small boat visible near the shore and a strip of blue sea at right; in the foreground, tidal pools and mudflats reflect the mountain and sky in muted lavender and cream tones. Hiroshi Yoshida's 1928 color woodblock print "Fujiyama from Okitsu" uses a hazy, low-saturation palette to render this coastal view toward the peak.
