Description
Mount Fuji rises snow-capped against a pink-and-grey sky, its slopes tinged with rose-colored light, beyond a range of dark purple hills. In the middle distance a single boat with figures aboard sits on calm water near a rocky, tree-topped bluff at left, while the foreground is a wide tidal flat of pale grey-green rocks and shallow tinted pools reflecting the mountain's pink hue. Hiroshi Yoshida, *Okitsu*, 1928, woodblock print, ink and color on paper.
